Few of our customers facing this issue:

Unable to compose/reply a message when accessing Outlook Web Access; however, this is not an issue using other browsers (including IE6). You will also see a red square with an “X” in it when try to compose a new message.

3. Click “RUN” when asked about the Microsoft Outlook Web Access S/MIME install and security warning.

4. Close and RESTART IE7
