Good morning all,

I'm looking for a selection of views on the issue of how fine grained people are when considering what information falls into an exemption.

Example - Subject has made a SAR for all information about them held as part of a record of a complaint they made. Bob is redacting a series of emails that falls in that scope and Bill is reviewing Bob's work.

Bob has redacted the entire contents of some emails under DPA Sch.7 s.10 (negotiations), but left in the header and footer, From:, To:, etc.

Bill says that the header and footer falls under the exemption as well.

I know what I think, but what are your thoughts? Also, how fine grained do you tend to go when redacting? To the email, the paragraph, the line or down to the word? 

Thoughts on or off the list much appreciated, thanks.
