What you should know about standard e-mail.

You should know that…

	The courts have found that typing your name in an e-mail can have the same force as signing your name on a legally binding contract.
	Anyone who receives your e-mail can change its content in any way they like and that there is often no way of telling that it has been changed.
	Anyone can send an e-mail that appears to be from your name and e-mail address.
	You cannot prove that an e-mail was sent. The fact that the message is in your “sent” folder proves nothing.
	You cannot prove when your e-mail was sent. That time and date on the copy you save are legally meaningless.
	You cannot prove that your e-mail was delivered. Anyone can say, “I didn’t get the message.” Legally, Post Office mail is presumed to be delivered if sent; not e-mail. Those receipts you get from your e-mail program can be legally meaningless.
	Many corporations routinely destroy all records of received e-mail every few weeks to make it impossible for you to prove what you’ve sent to them even if you have a court order.

With standard e-mail records and archives, you are EXPOSED.

Standard e-mail sent or received, archived electronic or in printed form, has limited evidentiary value to protect in case of a dispute. Or worse, the recipient could CLAIM that you changed something in your e-mail and represented it as the truth. With two mouse clicks, one could change anything in any e-mail and represent it as the truth. The receiver of your e-mail message can very easily:

	Change text in any received e-mail.
	Change the "from" address.
	Change anything in the attachment.
	Move e-mail to any folder.
	Change the "time sent".
