Preventing changes to received messages

[Hall]

Outlook allows me to modify a received message's body and subject field. So
if Bob sends me an email, I can open it, change the body's content, save it,
and it looks like that's how I received it. Then if I print or forward it,
it looks like Bob sent me something he in reality didn't.

Is there a way to disable that? Can the integrity of a received message be
protected? Can this be done without digital signitures?

Using Outloook 2003 and Information Rights Management, you can disable the
ability to edit and/or print the message.

You did not state what version of Outlook you are using.

If you are not using Office 2003, then add-ons like Gigatrust will allow you
to use Microsoft's RM and still protect email content.

I'm on Outlook 2000. Thanks for the advice.
