You can specify the text that will be sent to a user when they receive a protected voice message but their email client doesn't support Information Rights Management (IRM) or Windows Rights Management.

Protected Voice Mail can be accessed only by email clients that support Windows Rights Management or when a UM–enabled user uses Outlook Voice Access to access a protected voice message.

Protected Voice Mail is encrypted. When a voice message is protected:

If a protected voice message is sent to someone whose email client doesn't support Windows Rights Management and isn't accessing the message using Outlook Voice Access, an email message will be sent to them that includes the text you specify. This text should include instructions about what the called party should do to be able to receive the protected voice message.

For additional management tasks related to Protected Voice Mail procedures, see Protected Voice Mail Procedures.
