OK this is getting kinda off topic, but from what I rememer of the
ukcrypto thread the legal bods there decided is would be legally
enforceable.

BUT from I was taught email should be treated as a postcard. Now the
local postman where I grew up (small Yorkshire village) always new where
people had been on the holidays etc as he read all the postcards!
