What version of Windows?
Windows 7 Professional (x64)

What version of Outlook (2010, 2013, x86/x64)?
Office 2010 (14.0.6023.1000, 32bit)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
0. Outlook is configured _not_ to automatically encrypt/sign new emails.
1. Start writing a new email. Tell Outlook to encrypt+sign 
2. Open a second email composition window.
3. The second email is _not_ encrypted (as expected). Creating the new email 
disables encryption on the first message (not expected)
4. Send first email, now accidentally un-encrypted. Be visited by the 
fail-whale.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
The expectation is that sign/encrypt options apply to the specific email, 
however they apply globally, making it extremely easy to shoot yourself in the 
foot and accidentally send emails as plain text even when you've specifically 
told them to be encrypted.

Please provide any additional information below.

Hope this makes sense, happy to provide more detail or video if needed.
