I think it is completely absurd that the government let companies get away with the policy of deleting messages. Any public and/or large enough company should be required to keep all communications, internal and external, for at least a decade. These companies are required to respond to the public. In todays world the only reason for them not to keep records is to evade responsibility for whatever they're doing wrong.
