Outlook 2003 Permissions

I would like to use permissions to restrict what can be done with my outgoing
emails. How do I set up Information Rights Management in Outlook 2003
WITHOUT using Exchange Server 2003? I have read online that this can be done
using a Microsoft .NET Passport to provide the authentication and to activate
the IRM features. What I found says to "log on to the IRM service with your
Passport credentials to download a digital certificate" which it says Outlook
2003 uses to verify your identity and activate the IRM features. How do you
"log on to the IRM service?" I have Windows XP SP2, Internet Explorer 6, and
Outlook 2003, but not Exchange Server. I have already downloaded and
installed the Windows Rights Management Sevices Client 1.0, but no
"permissions" button shows up in Outlook 2003. ??

I don't think it's possible.

The info I referred to was from two diferent articles on this site that both
refer to being able to use Information Rights Management using a .NET
Passport when you don't have Exchange Server, but they aren't clear on
exactly how to implement it. FYI, links to the two articles a

"Free Trial Service for Information Rights Management" at:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/he...721681033.aspx

"Help protect confidential information in e-mail using IRM" at:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...801361033.aspx

Any other thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I for one just don't see ow this could work. At the very least one could take
a screen shot and use an image editor to change the data. Copy/Paste to a
separate document also seems possible. They may not be able to reuse the
files themselves, but I don't see how you can stop them from reusing the
information.

True, but I really am just looking to make it so an email can't be easily
forwarded on to someone other than the original recipient. Or rather, it can
be forwarded, but not opened by anyone else. Oh well, I guess I'll just give
up on the idea at this point. Thank you for your time and your input.
