Sending a message to someone and you would prefer that they not forward it to someone else? You can prevent the forwarding of your message by following these steps:

1. Open, create, and address the message as you normally would.

2. Click the Office Button.

3. Mouseover Permission and select Do Not Forward.

Note: You need to have the Windows Rights Management Client installed, if you do not, a prompt will appear. Click Yes and you can download and install the client. You will need a .NET Passport to register and download an RM account certificate.

Although its probaly good to mention that this only works if the recipients are using Outlook as well.

If this isn't what you where looking for just let me know...
