Is your company willing to indemnify my organization for the costs of tracking
down *all* copies of the message (including, but not restricted to, those on
backup tapes, copies automatically committed to WORM-based compliance stores by
our mail system, and already logically deleted but not yet overwritten blocks
on disk), and securely clearing the data sufficient to prevent its recovery by
an experienced forensics analyst armed with a subpoena and a "preserve
evidence" order?

And does your company's clientele realize that in case of a miscue on
the part of one of your staff, you're relying on an unknown third party's
good will to secure their confidential information, instead of relying on
actual cryptography to secure their data?
