IANAL, but IIRC US courts have come to a bizarre conclusion that people do not expect the same level of privacy in their electronic communications (such as email) as in their conventional communications (such as regular mail). This is one of the foundations of "your employer owns all your personal email if sent from/to the office, privacy issues notwithstanding". I believe this will override Rabbi Gershom if the push comes to shove... ;-) -- Oleg Goldshmidt | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ================================================================= "...
