And you dodged my question.

I meant secure as in a classified system. My understanding is that State has operated primarily on regular gov email up until recently.

Does anyone know what he is trying to say here?

And you dodged my question again (you do that a lot).
But that's OK, JohnR answered it very well. Retroactive classification is a reason to use a secure server, not a reason to excuse transmitting it before it is classified.

probably something like "The increase in the price of the gigawatt units to run the Flux capacitors is driving up the costs of the manufacturing of widgets"

...or even he doesnt even know what he's saying

I'd go with option B

State did not let me come in and expect their systems back then, BUT, they would have had (at minimum) standards for securing systems and experience in running less secure systems securely. They likely have had duplicate secure messaging running on a secure network for classified information that is heavily regulated. Yes, running these extra measures makes it more of a pain in the ass but it is done for a reason.

It can also be recalled, determined where stuff was sent (in event of gaining a classification status), archived, meet Guv retention standards, and yes, even be determined what different IT systems it can talk to or receive info from.

He is trying to cover for his girl, as usual ; )

I was reiterating a lot of what Kevin said
