Well, I am very big on employers NOT being able to snoop in private emails,
but here is the reason I see their need to: Employers can be held liable for
what is in those emails if they _don't_ check. Aside from the fact that
employers pay for all the time and bandwidth soaked up, it turns out that if
their employees are swapping child porn or plans to commit terrorism or
something, the company can be held liable for facilitating the crimes.
