1. Rules of evidence don't come into play unless this is a criminal matter.
2. Your actions should be dictated by your company's privacy policy. If
your company considers email to be a confidential, then you cannot act on
what you read. Companies who frequently protect their email include
hospitals and law firms.
3. If your company does not acknowledge email traveling through it's
systems as private, you actually have an obligation, an "affirmative duty",
to bring this to someone's attention if it does, in your opinion, affect
the company's reputation or operations. (If it's a fight between an
employee and their spouse, I'd ignore it.)
In response to Scott, the US Supreme Court has not passed a ruling on the
expectation of privacy regarding email and the Internet in general.
(I, too, am not a lawyer.)
