You can set your smartphone to try to use the default signing and encryption option for your outgoing messages instead. However, if message classifications are turned on, the default signing and encryption option might not be able to be used depending on the security requirements of a message's classification.

About message classifications

If your BlackBerry smartphone is associated with an email account that uses a BlackBerry Enterprise Server that supports this feature and your administrator turns on message classifications, the BlackBerry Enterprise Server applies a minimum set of security actions to each message that you compose, forward, or reply to, based on the classification that you assign to the message. Your administrator specifies the message classifications that you can use.

If you receive a message that uses message classifications, you can view the abbreviation for the classification in the subject line of the message and the full description for the classification in the body of the message. You can also view the abbreviation and full description for the classification for a sent message in the Sent Items folder.
