It's not just due to cost, though. There are very real privacy
issues here -- would you really want your ISP to be looking at
all your mail? Is it legal for them to do so? No provider wants
to be the precedent-setting test case to find out, so most of
them will choose to err on the side of caution, giving you (the
customer) many more rights than the law provides.
