EXPERT RESPONSE
Sorry, but there is no way to achieve such functionality using "normal" email. The nature of Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) email is that it separates the sender from the receiver, giving the sender no control whatsoever over what happens with the email once it is sent. Even if you were able to magically configure your email so that it could not be forwarded and replies could go only to you, such techniques could be thwarted with a simple cut-and-paste. And even without cutting and pasting, a recipient could still capture screen shots of your materials and forward those. Aside from that, it would still be possible to photocopy a laptop screen or take a photograph of your document on the screen. You get the idea.
So, how to deal with your dilemma, then? Most of the time, problems like yours are handled with a carefully phrased disclaimer notice at the bottom of the email. Sure, it's not a technological solution, but disclaimers make it perfectly clear to recipients that they're receiving sensitive information and should treat it as such.
Another option is to avoid sending sensitive information via email altogether. Instead, send your users messages to let them know that your content is available on your Web site, which you can then link to. Depending on the sensitivity of your Web site data, you may want to authenticate your users. If phishing is a concern, you may want to authenticate yourself to your users.
At your Web site, the users could view your data either in HTML or -- if you want to lower the chance of them copying and editing it -- a protected PDF file. Yes, the bad guys can get around all such protections as described above, but at least casual forwarding would be prevented.
There are commercial cryptographic products that minimize the chances of email forwarding, but they can be bypassed in the ways cited earlier. Still, if you are willing to spend some money, you may want to consider a plug-in like Taceo. It may inconvenience users slightly, but it allows employees to better protect sensitive content.
