Privacy levels are used to specify whether a queue accepts encrypted messages, unencrypted messages, or both by selecting the privacy level for the queue. If the queue privacy level is set to None, the queue accepts only unencrypted messages. If the queue privacy level is set to Body, the queue accepts only encrypted messages. If the queue privacy level is set to Optional, the queue accepts both unencrypted and encrypted messages. You can check whether a message sent to the queue was encrypted or unencrypted by using Active Directory Users and Computers (or programmatically by checking the PROPID_M_PRIV_LEVEL message property).

Your server might function differently based on the version and edition of the operating system that is installed, your account permissions, and your menu settings. For more information, see Viewing Help on the Web.
