Hi there, I am looking for some advice regarding the following
please? I am currently in a legal dispute and my only form of proof
that the documentation was sent to my correct email address is to
request that the sender forwards the original mail to me. I am
certain the said documentation was sent to my old email address by
mistake.If the sender forwards the original mail to me, but changes
the incorrect email address to the correct email by simply
highlighting it and retyping the new address, is there a way to see
the changes made by the sender? Perhaps in the html coding? Forgive
my ignorance,I have little to no knowledge of such matters. Any
assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Please don't hijack someone else's thread on an unrelated topic. Compose
a fresh message with your own subject line.
As to what some nefarious person might do when forwarding a message,
yes, a technically knowledgeable person could edit an outgoing message
on his hard disk before forwarding it to you. Not the way you describe,
but there are ways of doing it.
The only real proof would be if you obtained a copy from the carrier,
who has no stake in the dispute and no reason to edit it. But it's
uncertain whether they would have retained it. If I were managing an
ISP, I wouldn't waste my resources keeping emails that passed through.
There may also be legal reasons for retaining/discarding messages, but
IANAL and know nothing of South African law.
As a by-the-by, Paul, the Australian Government is now requiring, or
about to require, all ISPs to keep copies of all e-mails processed for
TWO years!!
So, if Anton were be in Australia and was to be having his problem in
two years, he might be right! ;-)
