subject of the document, date and time the document was sent, how many

time for each GroupWise user looking at the e-mail, you will need to click on

other school systems, other e-mail providers such as Yahoo, MindSpring, AOL,
etc.) you will only see the date and time the mail was transferred to their
provider.
