If we can prove it came from her computer, it definitely came from her (it's a
home computer).

Turning it around: if you wanted to, you could open a load of old emails and
forge the headers or the text?  Or add another one?  There's nothing like a
check-digit in the header or anything?  Stores of emails are basically all just
text files, aren't they?

How long do they keep those logs for, you think?
