double shot of snake oil, good conclusion

Lotus Notes/Domino already has something similar to what Microsoft is 
proposing.

You can designate an outgoing message as "read-only".

The end-user (if they are using a Notes Client) can only view the message, 
menu choices for printing and cutting/copy text are disabled. Forwarding the 
message is also disabled.

Note you can still use a screen grabber to grab the image off the screen...

Leave to Microsoft to claim it's a "new" idea.

(Although, after using Notes/Domino for over a year, I heartily agree with 
Peter Guttman's assessment of it, and would definitely switch back to 
Outlook/Exchange if given the choice between the two. POP/IMAP would be even 
better).
