Hey folks,
Thank you for your response, however I'm seeking to follow-up. The request seeks records that are distinct from the emails themselves, much in the same way that individual cells in an excel sheet respondent to a request that required a SQL statement would. As such, the entirety of the email will not require review, as this request does not seek email bodies, which are distinct from the requested records.
Does that clarify the request and, if so, change the assessment of whether or not the request is unduly burdensome? Thank you so much for your assistance.
