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
