Shift-Delete

This is the process of sending an e-mail then immediately going into sent mail and doing a SHIFT-DELETE to remove the e-mail without going throught the deleted items folder. This is an appropriate tactic when sending sexually explicit e-mails that you don't want recorded by anyone.
We were exchanging very hot and steamy e-mails at work so we immediately SHIFT-DELETED them.
