I recently asked my boss about e-mail privacy and several days later he forwarded to me some news articles which described several employees who had sued their company because of "eavesdropping" on their e-mail which they considered private. The employees lost. The couts sided with the company: basically speaking, the computers, the network and their use belong to the company. Since the employees also work for the company, then they should not use e-mail fro private business/use. -- Philip Yzarn de Louraille Internet: yzarn@chevron.com Research Support Division Unix & Open Systems Chevron Information & Technology Co.
