I've recently acquired an SMIME certificate and installed it in Outlook 2013. I set my brother up to do the same. So I used his certificate to send him an encrypted mail. He had an out of office Message, so I got a reply: "Re:[My Subject Matter] I'm out of office" All in PLAINTEXT!!! If the Auto-Responder is located on the Mail-Server, how is the mail server able to read the encrypted subject matter?
My brother is using the mac.com Mail server from Apple. Does this mean Apple lets users install their certificates on the Apple Servers? That would kind of defeat the purpose of SMIME.
