Any ideas?

    Hi, We are using Outlook 2007, with MS Exchange 2003 SP 2 on a Windows 2003 server. In order to try to cut down on paper / toner waste, I'm trying to find a way of turning off printing emails from Outlook. Is it possible to do this in Outlook, or perhaps through Group Policies? Thanks Colin

Password Protect attachments

Postby YmNob2xpbg » Thu, 17 Mar 2005 02:19:02 GMT

Is there any way to password protect an attachment in Outlook other than 
setting the password on the original document?  I am trying to disable wrong 
recipients from viewing an attachment without having to go through the 
encryption/digital id process.

So how does password-protecting the original document allow wrong 
recipients to view the attachment? Why do "wrong recipients" get the 
attachment in the first place? It's FAR more secure to password protect 
the document and then to email the "correct" recipient with the password 
separately!

Yes, that is the no brainer ---but, we have an office of employees handling 
sensitive material for multiple clients.  If they are doing their job 
correctly, the suggestion would keep material from getting into the wrong 
hands.  The problem lies in the autofill address field.  If they are not 
paying attention, when a name pops up on the default list, it gets chosen and 
off the email goes to the wrong "intended" recipient.  If there were 
passwords that we could implement to each client, the email going to wrong 
"intended" recipient would not be able to open that confidential material.  
Any other suggestions?

Are these "wrong" recipients inside the organisation or outside?

The recipients are outside of the organization.

Well that blows that idea away. I was going to suggest you had a look at 
Rights Management, but I think that only works internally.
