I realize at the physical level with IM it uses a sequence of messages which 
hare relayed server to server. Just as with VoIP, an audio stream is packaged 
as a sequence of IP packets. However there is no concept of long term 
persistence of information outside of the IM session (I am ignoring auditing). 
I don’t have an IM inbox.

The closest I can get is if I persist my IM history I would invoke the policy 
but it's not intuitive I would spawn more im sessions based on that as I would 
forward or reply all with email.
