From the developer: "ecMailShredder is a Windows executable program that works with Microsoft Outlook. Its purpose is to protect your privacy by providing a light weight tool to quickly erase the contents of Outlook items. When you 'delete' Outlook items the data is not really removed from your messages. These items are removed from your view but there are easy ways to recover their contents. This program erases the information from your items so they are useless to anyone who would try to use them. You can use drag and drop to move Outlook items to the text area of the program or you can select an Outlook folder and erase and delete all the items it contains."
