Charles,
actually, it is *not* required that the employer informs employees
of the snooping possibility. Several years ago there was a case of
wrongful dismissal against Epson, where the sysadmin refused to let her
boss browse through emails. she got herself fired and the courts upheld
Epson's right to terminate here. on appeal too, if memory serves.
Distasteful to the max, but very legal. informing employees up
front is just good policy and the decent thing to do. julius
