Yeah, it's amazing what some people don't care about. I left when it was decided that it would be cheaper to settle any potential lawsuits than buy a J2EE container with two-phase commits to avoid a chance of medication errors.

My argument at the time with regards to e-mail was to store the messages encrypted on disk and have them by default be encrypted to the employer's key rather than just leave them plaintext on disk for anybody who can steal the hard drive or break the system to read (the concern was auditability).
