Internet message header

[Tobin Halim]

Hi,

we are currently archiving email correspondence by dragging and
dropping the email into a project folder and the email will be saved
in the *.msg format. However, once we move the email into project
folder on server, when we open the email, it loses the internet
header.

From the legal stand point in court:

Do we need the internet header to archive the email to show in court?
Should we print it in PDF format then save it?
Should we keep all email in PST format, that way the internet header
stays within the email itself?
Or if court does not care the internet header, we can just drag and
drop into the project folder.

Thanks in advance.

You'll need to speak with an attorney for the answers to some of those
questions, but I do recommend keeping the messages in a pst. You can create
one pst for each project and store it in the project folder.

Whether you'll need the header depends on the reason for going to court....
but it's wise to keep the message intact.
