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."

    If I can see or hear it, I can copy it. This might stop people from forwarding casually interesting letters, but the things where it matters will be copied anyway. I don't see the point. If they do find a way to do this well, I'd love to have this possibility, otherwise it's just yet another way to make people feel secure without actually being so.

    Yes, it exists, but nothing stops you copying and pasting the text into a new e-mail.
