		Tharre on March 18, 2017 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Run Linux on hard disk firmware (2013) Emails can't be rewritten by anyone except your mail provider, which is unlikely to ever happen. What most likely really happened is that the mail included remote content which got reloaded - and thus changed.

Sorry for being pedantic, but if you sync your mail to your own device (or collect all of it onto your own mail server), you eliminate this risk.
