clean hard-drive? (Score 1)

so what would happen if you gave them a clean, freshly installed hard-drive that's just been used to view these particular spam mails in your webmail? I imagine they'd moan that it had been formatted to the judge, but then you get another forum to state that the emails are not stored on the hard-drive they are stored on the hard-drives of the webmail provider and that the other defense counsel is simply hand-waving. how annoyed would the judge be at that sort of tactic?
