Microsoft has shared a temporary fix for a known issue preventing Microsoft 365 customers from replying to encrypted emails using the Outlook Desktop client.
Affected customers will receive error messages stating, "Microsoft Outlook was not able to create a message with restricted permission" when trying to reply to messages using Microsoft encryption.
As a temporary fix, Microsoft says you can still reply to encrypted emails using the new Outlook or Outlook Web Access.
Last month, Microsoft also rolled back a fix for an Outlook issue caused by the December Outlook Desktop security updates triggering incorrect security alerts when opening ICS calendar files.
