There is apparently technology with Office 2003 that can limit who can see, copy, forward, print, etc. a document or email.  This same technology can expire a document X months after being sent so no one can read it (apparently).

As this becomes more and more prevalent are we going to see a return of "print everything and physically file it" or are there ways to capture these electronic documents that turn this off?

And if people don't include their records staffs in the list of people who can see electronic documents how does that affect managing those documents?
