    What happens for non Outlook users?

    great point - I'm sure this would be useless when accessing the protected message through web based mail.

    can you press printscreen and take a snap shot of the email as it is displayed? Then just print or forward that?

    nice idea though - will stop most users from printing and forwarding...

    Thanks for highlighting this exciting feature! I'm sure the folks over on the Office and Outlook Pages on Facebook would really appreciate you sharing your thoughts, tips, and tricks on the Walls! There are some cool videos...

    Hmmm, this must be different for Outlook users on Windows Vista? First of all, I don't see a Ribbon. Thoughts?

    This is a pretty pointless feature that will only stop the dumb computer users that don't know anything about Windows and are also using the same version of Outlook (i.e. internal corporate mail environment). Anyone smart enough who really wants to copy your message will be able to by simply pressing printscreen or using 3rd party programs to take a screenshot as someone else also pointed out. Lotus Notes also has that feature and it's as useless for the same reasons.
