What this discussion highlights are the inherent levels of trust and degrees
of risk involved in any mechanism of communication. Email may score on
average no better or worse than any other medium. However, one of the major
(dis)advantages of e-mail is its speed - both of delivery (the accidental
mail to wrong recipient at the click of a mouse)and the speed at which it
can be propagated to mass recipients.
If it offers any small crumb of comfort, email administrators say they don't
have time to look at all the mail which flows through the system - the
volume of traffic is much too large. Even if they found time, they risk
summary dismissal if they share anything interesting with anyone else.
Probably a good point to stop, before getting onto the subject of sweeping
email for keywords....
