Mark_A_K,

Actually, in the case of Sammy, you're probably quite right. You get the sense that its confidentiality request is mostly force of habit.

In Apple's case, nah. Jobs & Co. thought it through and concluded it should attempt to pull off at least 45 days' worth of privacy based on a letter that wouldn't be read by mrailing. Oops!

Ignorance is bliss...
