• your card (b):
• (a) Create new certificate
• - Insert card.
• - Run "gpg --card-edit".
• - Switch to admin modus by enter: "admin".

• Encrypted E-Mails occuring un-encrypted on the email server: It
• can happen that parts of encrypted emails are copied to your email
• server (IMAP or MAPI) in un-encrypted/decrypted form when creating
• or viewing them. Affected is the content of the email view
• window, thus usually the so-called email body. Attachments are
• not affected. Switching off the Outlook preview will lower the
• probability of this to happen, but not eliminate the issue.
• Or use GpgOL with Outlook 2010/2013.
