When her mailbox filled up, they actually deleted items to make room for more, puzzling her family and complicating the police investigation. It turns out, according to this story, that this is only the thin edge of the wedge - cell phone email hacking appears to be widespread, probably not only in Murdoch's newspaper, but among the press in general.
