Hi Bill,

I have never thought of email as private. If would never send anything

by email that could be used against you, but it is amazing how many

people will send things that would make your hair stand on end.

All our company emails (in and out) are archived, so that if we have a

dispute with one of our suppliers, we can bring out the emails. New

employees have to sign an IT useage policy, which covers our @rses.
