Anne-Marie,
Many people feel free to forward pieces of e-mail on to others (whether this is stictly proper or not) much as someone may forward you a short article or newspaper clipping they thought you would be interested in. About the only thing that I would suggest would be to make it explicit in your message introduction that you do not want the message circulated without permission. Short statements such as: "Please feel free to forward to other interested parties" or "Do not forward to others without permission," given the professional nature of most of your e-mail recipients (assumption), would probably be respected (although not 100% of the time). I don't know that it needs to be dealt with in a specific policy, but if it is a problem, making a general practice of including a statement of this sort may be useful.
BTW HI! How's the old stomping ground?

Subject: Re: e-mail policies
Does anyone have a policy concerning the confidentiality of e-mail
messages? Sometimes we send information via e-mail that is intended for
one person or for a specific group of people and the person(s) forwards it
to others for whom the message was not intended. I would appreciate
knowing how others deal with this type of thing or if it is even possible
to deal with it.
