A method to securely empty trashed Mail messages
Warning! I doubt that there is any security associated with this at all.

Agreed!
Yap, keeping things secret on a computer is not that easy
Everything that has been in memory might have in swapped out at some point and might still sit there on your hard drive, even if the swapfile got deleted.

The way Apple has implemented the "delete feature" in Mail.app is a shame! You cannot really delete mails and attachments from the mbox files. You loose the (easy) access to them by using the delete commands, but they keep lurking around in the mbox files even after they have been rebuilt. First your mail folder keeps growing over 1GB in no time. Second, you are unable to manage your own security! Things are going to get worse in Tiger. All the information that has ever materialised on your Mac will be recorded in the HSF+ filesystem! Your only way to get rid of all the confidental data will be the to preform low level format! Right now I do not really know what we can do against it. Any idea?
