In a recent newscast 60 Minutes reported that e-mail was not private. Heck, we on the net know that, but they did bring out one point and that was, any system operator can make back up files and therefore your e-mail may be in a system somewhere for years. Your e-mail may go thru many systems, and your chances of having privacy in e-mail is nill. We all know that the system operators are honest so we should not be worried that our e-mail is being read. An after thought, why don't we just post our e-mail to some de-funk newsgroup like this one? Er-ah-da-da, etc
