Well now, I do think there is a law somewhere that allows the board of 
directors (or whatever you call it) to read all email sent and received by 
employees to a company email address, as long as it has some kind of 
disclaimer (such as "Warning: all email messages may be read by .. " or 
something like that). At least we have one of those in Belgium!
