Information Rights Management - how to stop forwarding?

[MG2]

Hello,
I understand the IRM secures the data sent in a secure email to recipients
only but it doesn't actually stop the forwarding - just access to the data in
the email.

However, is there a way to stop an email from being forwarded at all?

Previous posts on this issue are from September 25, 2008 so I was wondering
if there has been any new technologies that would stop the forwarding of the
email so it could not be forwarded at all.

Thanks,
MG2

I daresay this is impossible to achieve. If a recipient can read it
it can be forwarded, at the very least be sending a screen shot of wha
the recipient saw

Nothing has changed. You can't prevent someone from forwarding a message.

Didn't you ask this a few days ago? My opinion when I answered then is the
same as it is now: there's no way to stop it. If the recipient can see it,
it can be forwarded. At the very least, the recipient can make a screen shot
and forward that or simply type it in again as a new message and send it.
