Corporations Face Problems with Employee Emails
TwistedOne151 writes "Law.com has an article outlining how the casual attitude of many employees toward work e-mails has resulted in some thorny problems for corporate in-house counsel. 'It has now become routine even in civil investigations for computers to be subpoenaed so lawyers can look at e-mails and hard drives. And one thing always leads to another. "We have forensic software that shows multiple levels of deletions. It shows thought processes. We can learn far more than from just a document alone," said [Scott] Sorrels. "E-mails have taken over the world."'"

Of course, there are people who think its okay to break the law, just so long as no-one finds out about it. To those people I don't send email - I send it direct to the CEO.
In most companies such people typically are the CEO.
if you farted (break wind) at work, your employer would own the chemical formula. You can bet that if farts had useful chemical properties, you'd be plumbed in the moment you arrived at work!
This message will self destruct in 5 seconds. And will neuralyse you. Don't know why we bothered to send it.

... which they then invest in adverts here on /.
In fact, companies lose hundreds of manhours per day to this site...
Wait, I think I got an error in my logic there...
I'm an infovore...
"Look, I'm working ! It's email !"

Ok, maybe we don't need to go that far, but how about equipping offices with the cone of silence
