This discussion reminded me of NARA's new policy on Emails and
Electronic records.  It seems their new rule on Email (announced in Feb
in the Federal Register) stands by the belief that most emails are only
for convenience and most are records of temporary value - 180 days or
less to be exact.  Some of the emails received by some of our folks are
the starting point to where we answer questions where research is
required, contractual matters are proposed, questions from the public
are answered, etc.  It always depends on the content with the email as
to how long you keep it.
