I am not sure how the idea of privacy expectations would hold up in court (you
could buy an excellent lawyer), but the mail server and the originating computer are
most likely owned by the company and anything you create on these machines on company
time is the property of your company. With this in mind I do not believe that you
have any expectation of privacy. On the other hand I would never take such a drastic
measure unless the contents of the e-mail represented a *Clear and Present Danger* to
my company.
