I second the comment that e-mail should not be considered a good route to
sent private or confidential messages.  Anything sent via e-mail should be
open enough that the senders or recipients wouldn't blanch at seeing their
e-mail tacked up on the kitchen bulletin board.  I think this is a good
rule of thumb.

Does anyone have a policy concerning the confidentiality of e-mail
messages?  Sometimes we send information via e-mail that is intended for
one person or for a specific group of people and the person(s) forwards it
to others for whom the message was not intended.  I would appreciate
knowing how others deal with this type of thing or if it is even possible
to deal with it.
