How to resolve the issues with emails encrypted by Azure RMS?

Azure Rights Management (Azure RMS) encrypts your Office 365 emails. When these messages are received by recipients, they can’t open the encrypted contents and receive the following error:

Sorry, we can't display your message right now
Something went wrong and your encrypted message couldn't be opened. Please try again by following the instructions in the original email message in 5 minutes.

Resolution:

If you previously used the Office 365 message encryption service and then changed over to the Azure RMS encryption, then this might be the reason for causing the issue. If your Exchange transport rule uses Azure RMS Encryption, it leads to a conflict with your Office 365 Message Encryption and prevents you from sending Azure RMS encrypted messages to your recipients. Follow the links below to get the solution for the issue.
