Your employer may read *ANY* mail addressed to it's place of business. I am the system admistrator of this system and I will always try to respect the privacy of my users. If however, I have need to look at any file, including mail, I will do so without hesitation. I do not however go snooping with out a good reason. Moral: If you don't want me to know about it don't put it on my system because I may see it. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Brian Beattie | Phone: (703)749-2365 NetExpress Communications, Inc. | uucp: seismo!sundc!netxcom!beattie 1953 Gallows Road, Suite 300 | Vienna,VA 22180 |
