I don't see the connection with being able to manage my records or e-mails
and Big Brother; in fact it seems a personal control issue.

With our employers the job of managing company e-mails will be assisted by
setting up retention schedules for e-mails and their attachments.
In the past vital and confidential company documents often left the
building through un-authorized copying.
If I send a company document to a fellow employee I don't want to see it
sent outside to a competitor.
I think it's not only 'cool' but necessary.
