This was the original definition of "metadata". It drove the courts and legal profession crazy when e-pleading and e-discovery first began as the recipient(s) had access to the most sensitive information either vital or mortal, or anywhere in between, on your/their cases. Many cases of malpractice were brought and won. At first, everyone tried to add covering disclaimers "Any and All Metadata Enclosed Are Hereby Subject To Attorney-Client or Work Privilege" but everyone at least LOOKED at the metadata before giving it back. The stuff of nightmares for attorneys on the hamster wheel.
