Re: email privacy

Your company computer and your email on it are company property, not yours. You have little right of privacy in them. Now, if someone spreads around your personal information, medical, sexual, etc., you may have a claim for privacy violation as to that info. If so, and if this is in SoCal, feel free to contact me.
