I can't find the difference between Confidential and Private
messages. I know how to mark them as such, but which one, if either,
will prevent the ability of the email being forwarded or altered?
THANK YOU!
Directly from Outlook 2003 Help:
---------------------------------
Mark a message as private, personal, or confidential
In the message you want to set the sensitivity level for, click Options.
In the Sensitivity box, click the option you want.
Private means the recipient will see "Please treat this as Private" in the
InfoBar (InfoBar: Banner near the top of an open e-mail message,
appointment, contact, or task. Tells you if a message has been replied to or
forwarded, along with the online status of a contact who is using Instant
Messaging, and so on.) of the message you send.
Personal means the recipient will see "Please treat this as Personal" in the
InfoBar of the message you send.
Confidential means the recipient will see "Please treat this as
Confidential" in the InfoBar of the message you send.
Note: Marking a message with one of these settings is advisory only.
Recipients can take any actions on the message that they want to, such as
forwarding the message to another person. If you want to help prevent
recipients' actions on a message, you can create an e-mail message with
restricted permission.
----------------------------
Note that there is really very little you can do to secure email entirely.
See
http://www.slipstick.com/addins/security.htm for some options, but
nothing's going to stop someone taking a screen shot of an open message,
even.
