With respect you are offering an alternative that is not suitable for my
purposes rather than a solution to what I asked.

Protecting a WB or WKS has to be carefully considered to ensure all
functionality still works, I do not wish to go down this route, all I want
to be able to do is send a Read Only file and have it still be Read Only
when it arrives.

How do I send a file which is Read Only and have it still be Read Only
when it is received by the recipient?

I attached a file, which I know is Read Only, but when I open it from the
Email it is no longer Read Only.

I am using Outlook 2003.
