At the risk of belaboring an academic point (some may refer to it as an
academic dick dance), the sanction would come when a party opponent
attempted to introduce the evidence in court.

So the court would not tell the list they can not have the message, only the
opponent of the ladies firm that started this thing that the important
information (if an) is not admissible
