With all due respect guys, this is going far beyond my original post. I
am merely scenarioing the possibility that someone could use the
security loopholes that are currently in Explorer to allow hackers of
any origin, whether independents or industrial/governmental, to look at
your hard drive, and read the email that you had thought you had
deleted. People do not just delete email for illegal purposes, but for
business and personal purposes as well. How many lawyers or doctors
compromise their patients confidentiality every day unwittingly when
their hospital's email system does not adequately delete confidential
communications that are supposed to remain private? We all know that
employers and insurance companies love to get their hands on such
information, to the detriment of employees and customer premiums every
day.
Given this, what sort of tools could people use to automatically
overwrite deleted email messages, as well as eliminating this "feature"
of explorer that stores deleted messages?
