Yeah, sorry about the soapbox (I had just woken up when I wrote that so I was on a bit of a soapbox - my apologies!) Issues like the one you are in are always quite complicated to resolve, and nothing is ever black and white...
Right now in the U.S. these sorts of issues are really in my face all of the time. For example, one of my favorites right now, the Patriot Act! What a giant freedom sucking black hole piece of crap that is. As if taking away our toenail clippers on the plane is going to stop a determined martyr/terrorist/whatever, or high-tech invasion of privacy is going to actually protect us from some of the terrible things we have perpetrated on global affairs (I would make a list but it would reduce me to grinding my teeth). Anyway, here I am ranting again... sorry. You could always "accidentally" have an email forwarded to a given user that mentions a mail has been forwarded to the boss, and apologize later saying that it was a preconfigured behavior you were unaware of or some nonsense. By the time the boss found out, everyone involved might be a little steamed... Good luck with however it works out (and sorry to use this mail list for non-technical ranting yet again!)
