E-mail Privacy

[Philip Yzarn de Louraille]

I recently asked my boss about e-mail privacy and several days later he
forwarded to me some news articles which described several employees who
had sued their company because of "eavesdropping" on their e-mail which
they considered private. The employees lost. The couts sided with the
company: basically speaking, the computers, the network and their use
belong to the company. Since the employees also work for the company,
then they should not use e-mail fro private business/use.
