This is what exists as a "standard" behavior of this sort of "logging",
and is nothing..."illegal", or an omission in the design.
In the quite same fashion, _all_ your messages, that are not encrypted,
are entirely and very easily readable to practically, and literally,
entire Inter Net / world, in the process of the transport and otherwise.
This is the reason why encrypted mail is used, for instance, thus being
some sort of envelope, so nobody else can read it save the recipient(s).
Besides, fragments, or entire letters, also can be found as the parts of
OS's swap file (in XP the Pagefile.sys) and can be read very easily, as
an ordinary plain text, just by opening it in some a bit more advanced
text editor, when the OS is not active (from an other OS, for instance,
installed on another partition, disk, bootable diskette, CD...).
Therefore, all the mail "by default" is treated as written on post
cards, being thus open and readable to everyone.
The mail you don't want to be exposed this way, you should (keep)
encrypt(ed).
