That sucker left at least 5 copies on spinning media on its way through our mail system. And we're good enough at forensics to know that hitting the 'Discard' button does *not* destroy all copies. Want to pay us for the downtime we'll need to *actually* destroy them? Moral: Use encryption, not disclaimers.
