Greetings!
We are preparing for a dialog with our Office of General Counsel regarding 
email. The conversation will include archiving, forwarding, and 
journaling. Today Quinn, from Boston University, was kind enough to 
forward the outcome of his poll regarding email forwarding. As a 
continuation on this theme I would appreciate input from the members 
regarding their use of Journaling. I will collect the answers and 
summarize back to the membership. Feel free to contact me offline if you 
prefer.

Consider the following definition of "Journaling." 
Journaling is the process of making a pristine, irrefutable copy of all 
messages as they pass through the e-mail system. 

With this definition in mind does your University use Journaling? Do you 
have a Policy that you can reference?


Thank you in advance.
