Did any say anything about this being a personal message??  It's pretty
standard business practice to keep a file copy of all outgoing
correspondence.  (How else are you going to dispute someone's claim
that you promised them the moon...).  I don't see any problem with
the originator, a new person taking over the function, or other
responsible parties having access to those file copies - in fact,
most businesses would require it to function.  Actually I'm surprised
that most email systems don't store a file copy as a matter of course.
I've considered adding it here.
