Decrypt user's encrypted mail

[Database Administrator]

Is there a way as a sys admin I can open mail that user's have
decrypted? This mail is sent within the company and we've become very
suspicious. Can anyone here point me in the right direction for some
instructions on the process?
Thanks

You must have access to the user's ID file, since that is the only place
the private key is stored.

Tim, thanks for responding.
I do, of course, have access to the user's id file, but have yet to
find a way to use that file to decrypt the mail.

In that case, there is a way to remove encryption. I wrote an agent
once to do that. It simply loops through every document in the
database, and removes the encryption. While the looping logic is pretty
straight forward, there was a trick involved in removing the encryption.
I can look that up if you are interested.

Obviously you would need to work in a copy of the user's mail file
because the documents will be altered.
