I learned the hard way that companies definately have the right to read one's emails and they do, in some cases. At a former job, for reasons unknown to me, my posts to museum-l were being monitored. I was reprimanded for discussing "in house" business in an open forum, something that was apparently not allowed. I was asking my internet colleagues for advice on museum standards and protocol. Anyway, several weeks later, I discovered copies of emails that I had received, but never printed out on another employee's desk in another division of the company. My advice is to be prepared to justify every email you send or receive and ask your direct supervisor to review anything you send out. That way you are protected from accusations based on ignorance.
