But the technology keeps getting more powerful for the same money, so
the accountants may have less control as time passes.  Relying on that
to safeguard your rights is stupid.  Reading mail is still expensive for
physical items, because you have to somehow get past the envelope, but
there's no envelope for email.

The cost of sending email doesn't protect us from spammers.  Whu should
the costs protect up from these snoops?
