He may be serious.  I use IBM's Lotus Notes at work, and that has the  
ability to "copy protect" email. Basically, the sender sets some sort  
of "copy protect" flag, and the mail client recognizes and enforces  
it. It's very, very frustrating when trying to reply to someone when  
they do that. I end up taking a screenshot of the message and pasting  
the picture into my reply, so really the protection is not completely  
effective.

Anyway, that's probably what he's asking for. Personally, I think it's  
a little ridiculous for email, especially considering that it's  
completely up to the mail client to enforce the copy protection. So,  
all the end user has to do is use a different mail client that doesn't  
enforce it.
