E-Mail Controls in Office 2003

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the inevitable-results dept.

TiggsPanther writes "The BBC's Technology News reports than the next version of MS Office will include E-Mail controls which should limit way that e-mail messages can be forwarded. Being tied into the Information Rights Management concept, it might be interesting to see how quickly this gets taken up."

    The days when you could forward an embarrassing e-mail to your colleagues could be a thing of the past.

    Uh, no. Nothing is foolproof because fools are just too damned clever.

    I can't wait to tell everyone I know that sending emails like "isnt the boss a dick" and " julie from accounts has nice tits" to each other is now 100% SAFE because of the new Outlook options to stop forwarding.

    Hilarity ensues!

    Of course, it will if MS makes wearing a DRM Helmet part of the EULA.
