How? If you're sitting down, they cannot sit down and see the screen. If
you're NOT sitting down, you've locked your screen so they can't get at it.
Can you explain how that doesn't cover all situations?

No.

Not if you don't tell it to do that.

Have you never had a colleague come over so you can show them
something ? There's outlook, in the background ... can clearly be seen
as you're switching windows

Or stick to doing what you're paid to do and save the "confidential"
discussions for when you're at home.

The discussion was with our HR department - our site isn't so large
that a personal visit wouldn't go unnoticed. Obviously a phone call is
out of the question too.
I can see this might be a feature which bosses would appreciate.

Is that something that can be done unilaterally ? I can create a
digsig for myself, but would it require my HR contact to do the same.
As I said, a bit of RTFM :-)

Sure.

So, minimize Outlook before showing the collegue whatever it is you wish him
or her to see. It seems as though you want Outlook to compensate for your
lack of care.

Perhaps. It would be a worthwhile feature, as you sat. Why don't you
suggest it?

See Tools>Organize>Using Colors>Automatic Formatting and see if there's a
setting there that causes messages with sensitivity equal to "Confidential"
to be displayed differently.

You each can get your own digital certificate from any of several
cartification authorities, like VeriSign or Thawte. You can also get one
from http://cacert.org/ , I believe. However, the people who control the
assets at your work might not appreciate it if they couldn't monitor your
mail. It IS their property, after all. --
