How the heck do you tie DRM into an email client? Does the client make sure that you have the rights to view the email I sent to you?

- gaius 17y agoIt can "expire" email after a certain time.
- jodrellblank 17y agoYes, it does. Microsoft call it IRM (Information Rights Management) and you need to install/enable it on your domain and Office 2007 hooks into it. You can then put limits on who can copy, print, fax the email, who can cut/paste from it, to whom you can forward it and force expiry of it. It includes fun bits such as "The first time that you try to open an e-mail message that uses restricted permission, you must connect to a licensing server to verify your credentials and to download a use license".
