It seems a cheap way to avoid lawsuits, rather than a more difficult--but better for the employees--policy that email is private. I won't work for a company that doesn't value their employees enough to let their email stay private. Perhaps privacy enhanced mail will make a big difference. Unfortunately, although people want to distribute free PEM, some companies have tied it up with patent infringement threats. Oh, well... Sean -- ** Sean Casey
