I am not interested in any particular topics, as I am not requesting the contents of the emails - only the metadata. The metadata surrounding the requested information, though intrinsically tied to the emails themselves, is stored as separate records within email systems' databases. If you would like the technical documentation to extract this information, please let me know.
