Since this is obviously happening at your work place, you should know
that there is no privacy in email there. Your employer can read any of
your emails and you shouldn't be sending anything private. It is the
employer's network and the employer's computers, not yours.


This isn't strictly true. If he's in an EU country, and if the IT policy
states that staff may use e-mail for personal use at all (even limited
use), then the company has no right whatsoever to read other people's e-
mails, it would violate the EU privacy directive, enshrined in local law.

If he's in France, the right to privacy legislation is very pervasive
indeed.
