Unfortunately, the transport software is not foolproof and bugfree, so it is necessary to do this sort of "snooping" at times, just to make sure things still work. I occasionally get messages forwarded by the admin on our neighbor machine because they got wedged in the spool dir. If you're sending messages over insecure channels which are so private they need to be encrypted, maybe you should think about using a different transport medium. =Spencer
