It seems the message coming from this debate is that organisations, no
matter who they are, need to develop a considered policy which provides
guidance on how to deal with such matters prior to the event.
Interpreting what can be complicated inter related legislative requirements
once a situation arises will cause problems. i.e. The tipping off offence
was news to me. Lack of knowledge can lead to some immediate peace of mind
though!! ;-\
Interestingly if you extended this debate further it could lead to the
question who is the data controller of e-mails?
