Hi Tim
The only problem with this theory is that many employees are not given a
choice when it comes to e-mail addresses. The norm is that IT department
chooses it for you and gives you:

The data controller is therefore disclosing your details to the whole world,
often without your consent, don't you agree?
But in terms of the original thread, I would agree that monitoring all
e-mails (after informing staff that you will intercept and there's no such
thing as a private e-mail) is a good idea if you have an e-mail policy to
enforce.
