The Information Commissioner's guidance was written some time ago, but presumably still stands: http://www.informationcommissioner.gov.uk/cms/DocumentUploads/Subject%20Acce ss%20to%20Personal%20Data%20Contained%20in%20E-mails.pdf (It's very helpfully hidden in Data Protection | Guidance | Individual rights, as opposed to the other guidance notes on subject access which are also listed in the guidance for public and private organisations.) Has anyone fathomed a logic to the Commissioner's indexing yet?)
