Only under very explicit conditions. If yo're both using Windows Server 2003
and Information Rights Management, then it's possible. Otherwise, no.

Try this:

First, create the custom form:
1. Create a new message
2. Tools | Forms | Design This Form
3. Click on the Actions tab
4. Double click on "Forward" and "Reply to All" and disable them
5. Click on the Properties tab
6. Check "Send form definition with item"
7. Tools | Forms | Publish Form As
8. In the "Look In" field, choose your personal forms library and give it a
name such as "NoReplyAllOrForward"

At step 7, you could also File | Save As and save the form as an OFT in the
filesystem.

Then, send mail to others using the custom form:
1. Tools | Choose Form (or double-click the OFT you saved on your hard
drive)
2. In the "Look In" field, choose your personal forms library
3. A new mail message will come up. If you went to Tools | Forms | Design
This Form, the changes you made above would be visible.
4. Type in the recipients/subject/body/etc and send the message

Now when the people you sent the mail to open it, the "Reply All" and
"Forward" buttons will not be available on the toolbar. Similarly, the
keyboard shortcuts like Ctrl+F will not work.

Of course this doesn't go nearly as far as true IRM, since the recipient
could still copy the contents from the mail and paste it into a new one and
forward that around. This is more useful as a "gentle reminder" not to "me
too" reply all to a large mailing list, or not to forward something
semi-private.

Would all of this setup (to define and include a form within the e-mail)
only work if you could guarantee the recipient was also using Outlook?

I don't know. Probably.......
