Hello,

I was just wondering how and if it is possible to disable the 'edit message'
feature which allows users to edit recieved emails.

Any help would be great.

Thanks,

Justin

You can disable any menu or toolbar command, such as Edit Message, by using a Group Policy Object. The article at http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...402401033.aspx explains how; look at the section on "Disabling menu items and command bar buttons."

You can use the Outlook VBA code sample at http://www.outlookcode.com/codedetail.aspx?id=1507 to get the IDs that you need to be able to disable certain toolbar and menu commands. Or use use the Outlook Spy tool from http://www.dimastr.com. I also have a complete list in the appendices to my "Configuring Outlook 2003" book (see signature).
