Symptoms

In Microsoft Outlook 2010, when you disable the Do Not Forward command, Exchange Message Classifications commands are also disabled unexpectedly. These commands are in the Permission drop-down that is located on the Options tab of a new mail message.

Cause

Microsoft Office 2010 provides a feature to disable elements of the ribbon by using Group Policy settings. When you disable the Do Not Forward command, the Exchange Message Classifications feature is also disabled. This is because all items on the Permission drop-down list are managed together.

Resolution

To disable the Do Not Forward command on the Permission drop-down list without also disabling Message Classification, apply the following update:
