Wouldn't that be illlegal? I thought every bit of presidential correspondence had to be recorded? (incidentally, would that include sms?)

Yes, but private phone conversations are not recorded--and I think there's a good argument to be made that in this day and age texting and email are more like a telephone call than official "correspondence." (Though still an argument that the Supreme Court would probably have to rule on, one way or another.)
