Co-worker: Remember when I told you yesterday that I deleted some messages that I didn't intend to delete and then emptied my trash so I couldn't get them back? I still have those messages.
Me: You do? That's great, but how?
Co-worker: I thought I deleted my trash because it disappeared, but it was just my Inbox that disappeared.
Me: So when you thought you were emptying your trash, you were just deleting messages out of your Inbox? When you say "emptying trash", what exactly are you doing?
Co-worker: I select all the messages and delete them.
Me: You know there's a command in Eudora called "Empty Trash" that allows you to empty your trash without going through all that?
Co-worker: Yeah, that's what I did.
Actually, that's not at all what you did. But, why confuse you with the facts?
More coffee. Stat.
