When you make someone your target, that last thing you want them to know is that you have figured out how to tap their communication paths. If you do, they may: 1. Find and disable your interception mechanism (if foreign - search for how wiretapped. If domestic, get a court order to make you stop). 2. Use (better) encryption to make sure you can't read their email. 3. Bypass email and use a phone. Any way you look at it, LISTENING in on communication is something I believe the Israeli agencies do all the time. INTERCEPTING is something that is almost never done. It simply makes zero operational sense. Yet you are certain that that was what happened, while not bringing a single piece of evidence. Yes, I'm afraid the term "Paranoid" does come to mind.
