Who said anything about the system operator deleting them? If the people are at all paranoid, they'll make sure they empty their trash folder at the earliest opportunity. The notice simply points out that "in the trash" isn't "deleted", and anything they don't want made public in an official inquiry should not be left in the trash bin. Of course, I would also have a policy in effect that enforces a total mailbox size, and let people know that, when their mailbox is "full", further mail would be bounced back to the sender, until they made room in their mailbox. Unless, of course, THAT is also illegal in Germany... -- Best regards, Jeff mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
