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.

    this is a stupid tool. Although it allows you not to forward, you can copy the mail and send another mail as attachment

    why is there need to ask for IRM installed, if some one does not have .NET id then this mail will not be opened by him. It sucks…

    This would have been a good tool if there was a way to prevent copy/paste as well.
