Since I got such fast (and useful) help on the last previous problem of the day,
I think I'll push my luck.

My Human Resources department has asked for my input on a policy statement
regarding privacy of e-mail within our company.  Being the "less government is better
government" type that I am, I created a very broad couple of statements that said
something like this:

E-mail should be thought of as being as private as things in a locked file cabinet.
The company reserves the right to examine it like any other company property if needed.
It takes the approval of the VP - HR and Director of ISIT to get into someones e-mail, and
will only be done for "good cause".

I purposefully avoided the issue of "personal use", etc.  Since I didn't want to even think
about being in the "email police" business.  Well you guessed it, there are some people
who are being "unreasonable" and are sending things that are not very appropriate.
Anyone have examples of a policy they think is pretty good and that they are will to share?
