Outlook Plugin Encryption Bugs

[kevlingo]

Hello,

There appears to be a couple bugs when encrypting an attachment using the Outlook plugin.

1. The first bug can be reproduced by checking the options "Rename the ext. to ??_" and "Use AES encryption".
   
   When attaching the file, the plugin asks for a password and sends the file. The attachment, however, is not encrypted. It can be extracted without having to provide the password.
   
   This is true with all zip options.
   
2. The next one is more of an annoyance, but if you use the option "Compress & Encrypt (use PowerArchiver options)", you are asked for the password 4 times (enter password, confirm password, enter password, confirm password).
   
   The file, however, is actually encrypted.

I am using Windows 7 Ultimate RTM, PA 11.6.0.23, PAO 2.03.03.

I'm open to the idea that I'm making a noob mistake, so feel free to correct me if so inclined...

Thanks,
Kevin
