Comment (by iprg):

 Hi!
 Well, yes, you actually might be right and maybe, this is the reason why
 the core team did not include the functionality...
 But still, I believe having this option actually means "less of two evils"
 ... I mean: it is really hard to imagine you allow somebody to erase some
 data without knowing what these data are, yes, you can download and see
 them as well, but probably only in the stage when the notification mail
 was sent... Could be perfect legall, but unusable for most of cases...

 Do not get me wrong: I actually like (generally) all the stuff and I
 believe it is sort of great to give admins tools to collect data connected
 to a mail and erase them eventually... I am just now testing it and it is
 incredible how hard it is to get it from systems...

 So yes, the direction is good, but in real life, I, as an admin of many
 sites, just want to have a tool to check it all first...

 Best, Jan
