E-mail envelope journaling. A server determines that an entity's (e.g., a recipient revealed from an expanded distribution list) home mailbox store has envelope journaling enabled and specifies a journaling mailbox address. The server sets a journaling property in an e-mail message identifying that the e-mail message is to be journaled. The server adds the journaling mailbox address specified by the entity's home mailbox store to the journaling property. The server sends envelope journaling information through an envelope protocol extension to the journaling mailbox addresses specified in the journaling property. The server sends the e-mail message to one or more recipients specified in the e-mail message and journaling mailbox addresses specified in the journaling property. Journaling servers receiving envelope journaling information, place journaling information in archive messages, and attach portions e-mail messages to archive messages.
