I have Vista (I hate Vista) I do not see a button at the top that says sign
at the top. I cannot unclick it as I do not see it. I have never seen this
must have digital id before today. I send emails to these people everday. Now
it tells me I cannot send them without the digital ID. Can you help me,
please.?

On the top of your e-mail toward the right is the word HELP.
Below that, on the blue bar are 3 icons.
The second from the right is ENCRYPT, the third from the right is DIGITALLY
SIGN.
If either or both of those icons are enclosed by a block "box" around them,
they have been selected. Click on the icon(s) that has the black line
surrounding it to remove the black line and you should be OK. The use of
digital signing or encryption will cause the symptom you describe.

If the OP did not click the Sign button, he may have inadvertently changed
his settings:
Tools, Options, Security, uncheck "Digitally sign..."
