SYMPTOMS

When Microsoft Word for Windows 95 is chosen as the e-mail editor for Microsoft Exchange clients, a message with it's sensitivity set to Private can be edited.

MORE INFORMATION

In the Microsoft Exchange clients for Windows 95 and Windows NT, Microsoft Word for Windows 95 can be chosen as the e-mail editor. In addition, in a Microsoft Exchange client, you can set the sensitivity of a message to Private so that recipients are prohibited from modifying the original message when it is replied to or forwarded. However, if Microsoft Word for Windows 95 is set as the e-mail editor, a message with it's sensitivity set to Private can still be modified.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Word version 7.0 for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available.
