E-mail security
ANYBODY can read your e-mail. If this has not happened to you; that is only because nobody wants to read your e-mail. As e-mail travels from one location to another, enroute to its final destination, it is stored temporarily at various stations. At each halt, there is a chance of someone reading the message. Someone can even intercept and cannibalise your message. There is no guarantee that the message you receive is what was written by the real sender.
