Thanks for extending the userbase. :-)

GpgOL matches the key by the "Email Address" so if you open Kleopatra the key 
needs to have the same Email address as the one used in Outlook. This is 
because when verifying a signature we also check that the signing key matches 
the "From" address.

So my most likely guess would be that the Key used by your customer does not 
have a matching "Email Address". You can add a new userid with this email on 
the same key using the details dialog in kleopatra.

Hope this helps,
Andre
