>>Abdicating your role in advising your organization on best practices is
not doing your job, even if no one is currently listening.<<

Give me a break, I am not abdicating my role within the organization.
Neither am I advocating retaining email forever.

What I am considering is that many distributed documents are copies for
informational purposes only and have a very limited retention timeframe.
Forcing users to store them in alternative locations may be creating even
more difficult issues than the one it is intended to solve.  First, where do
all the copies go and what are they named?  How do we efficiently manage all
of these distributed copies?  How do we account for the multiple versions
that may exist?

Granted, ECM/ERM technology provides a long term solution and we are working
on that.  But in the near term, should the standard concept of best practice
be challenged?

No offense, but if the best practice of placing limits on mailbox sizes was
working, we wouldn't be having this discussion on the list.
