Sure they can. But now they have entered the realm of "why were you doing
that" as far a legality (and with a proper warrant, law enforcement can do
this as well).  Auto-archiving of forwarded email would be a legit, standard
business practice. This store of info is subject to much easier access (no
warrant to cause it to happen, simple subpoena to cause it to be produced,
etc.).

And any half-way intelligent criminal already encrypts their email.

We are just talking why an ISP would not want to be in the link for legit
email (it destroys the whole "we are only a bandwidth provider" legal
argument).
