I'd quite happily delete it from my system - if they're willing to pay for
the admin time needed to track it down on our mailserver, trace down which
backup tapes it might be on if it got backed up before I pop'ed the mail
down to my laptop, and rebuild the tapes with the problem file excluded.

Of *course* they want us to erase them from the backups too - failure to
do so was what got Ollie North convicted. ;)  And we're talking about
a mail system that handles millions of msgs/day - takes a while to ensure
that there are *no* copies anywhere.

I smell a new profit center.. ;)
