Personally, I treat it exactly the same as "snail mail".
If its not yours, its not yours and dont open it.
If you as an IT person stumble across it, then you shouldnt be able to
do anything about it.
How many postal workers who stumble on stuff could use it lawfully ?

Subject: OT: e-mail privacy - where do we stand
Ok this is a question i would like to see answered. What is the law in
regards to privacy of email. Who is allowed Legally to read your emails
whilst your an employee in a company. Im sure this is a very big grey
area and would be interested to see what all of you think. Ie: If your
manager has it in for you, is he allowed to start shifting through all
your emails behind your back wihtout you knowning.
Also what is the deal with a IT Support person. If we should "stumble"
across a email we wernt meant to see. Where do we stand legally on that
as well.
Thanx all in advance. Id be VERY interested to see what you all think.
