Warning that outbound attachments might be confidential in nature

[Guest]

Hi, I'm trying to have Outlook performing a check on the outbound attachment
and if the attachment is confidential, to show a dialog box that warns the
user of the fact and request confirmation before sending.

Ideally Outlook would check the properties of the file being sent for a
keyword, say "confidential", but it would still be good if at least Outlook
can verify whether the string "confidential" is part of the file name (that
implies a naming convention that all confidential docs need to have the word
confidential in their name - but that's alright - not as elegant but ok)

Can anyone help please? Regards, Flavio @ (e-mail address removed)

Try posting this in one of the Outlook programming groups for some help
writing code to do this. You can also check http://www.outlookcode.com to
see if examples exist.
