The most obvious solution is not to send email in the first place if you don't want it forwarded or copied via the keyboard PRT SCR (Print Screen) key and pasted into a word processor.
By the way, even MS Office IRM (Information Rights Management) have its own limitations (look HERE to read what it cannot prevent).
