It also offers an office environment where e-flirting isn't as taboo as a dingo at a cat show. A study of office workers showed nearly one-third of them think naughty e-mails at work are OK. Most of that third are men (surprised?). No matter what they think, however, naughty talk can still get them in big trouble with the law.
