> Deciding when a piece of information should not have been forwarded is the job of the workplace or law, not the e-mail client. You seem to misunderstand who controls the workplace. Within limits, the employer has significant control which increases or decreases based on jurisdiction. Yes, these measures could limit an individual, but there are generally options like just asking the sender to forward a copy of an agreement/contract so that an outside counsel can review it. Denying review of a contract is a good way to get it invalidated. I guess harassers could use this feature of the system to try to protect themselves, but it won't stop someone taking a photo from their phone. Realistically most organizations don't want to be complicit in that - even if they tend to default to silence - and HR only exists to protect the company.
