I reckon its related to an abuse of the system where loads of ethics complaints were lodged against her costing several million to the state, most I think have been resolved in her favor but were a reason she left her office early and didn't seek gubby re-election.

Put em all in one downloadable zip file? 

Anything but wasting money printing out emails and sending them around.

Wait....

Why would that be?

You`re assuming that there`s something damaging in them.

Why is that?

No, this is a legal tactic when deliberately delaying/burying something for a time--give the opposition what they want, but in reams of paper.

I dunno, maybe there will, maybe there won't. Probity is important but this feels excessive and either way there will be plenty of spin after seeing the list of meja organizations seeking da emails.

I agree with privileged and exempt (don't want to tip Alaska's hand on any 'state secrets', after all), but personal should be fair game.  Just ask any employee who works for a company if their personal emails done on company time are outside the scrutiny of their employer, and they will tell you no. Personal is where all the fundie bodies are buried.

Yes, but it can never change the original hard copy which was put out by the state.

Dont judge me because I sin differently than you.
If you want it sugar coated, dont ask me what i think! It would violate TOS.

Maybe they want to edit out a few email addresses that are shown in the sender and cc lists first?
(It's possible that there's a few erstwhile Palin voters who don't have email and/or are too stupid to work a computer, come to that...)

She said parts of that, anyhow.
