Sarbanes-Oxley applies to financial accounting, does it not?
And the sending of an email is generally not recorded in the
financial records of a business.  What do the two have to do
with each other?  What am I missing?

I am neither an American nor an accountant (not even a
bookkeeper <grin />), so please deal gently with my
ignorance.

My intention here is not to resist improvements to
LibreOffice.  Rather, I am questioning the basis for your
words "horrified" and "appalling".
