Did any say anything about this being a personal message?? It's pretty standard business practice to keep a file copy of all outgoing correspondence. (How else are you going to dispute someone's claim that you promised them the moon...). I don't see any problem with the originator, a new person taking over the function, or other responsible parties having access to those file copies - in fact, most businesses would require it to function. Actually I'm surprised that most email systems don't store a file copy as a matter of course. I've considered adding it here. Les Mikesell les@chinet.chi.il.us
