A.2.5 Sealed Email Format Tab

By default, your sealed email will be created in Microsoft Word format. If you prefer, you can specify that you want sealed email to be in plain text or rich text format. We recommend that you use the default format, although the other formats produce smaller email attachments. Using Microsoft Word format ensures backwards compatibility with previous versions of the Oracle IRM software, and provides better edit options, particularly for users whose rights require all changes to email to be tracked. The format you select for sealed email has no influence on the format of any sealed documents you attach to your sealed email.

Open the tab by selecting Sealed Email Format on the Sealed Email Options dialog.
