If so, I'm not a happy camper - I have NO problem with this happening to the free GMail users who have, after all, decided that the advantages of a FREE, reliable e-mail service are worth the intrusion and loss of privacy. HOWEVER, the VM e-mail service is NOT free - it's a part of the (not insubstantial) monthly subscription that I pay to them, and I don't want anyone nosing around in my private e-mails (I work in Healthcare, and have a couple of friends/relatives who have serious health issues. In both my private and professional lives, I use e-mail to communicate sensitive, private and confidential medical information and advice. I simply CANNOT allow Google - or anyone else - to snoop on the contents of these e-mails)
Definitive answer to this question required IMMEDIATELY please!
There's just no pleasing some people,

If you don't want to use email - then revert to pen and paper. At the moment, that't about the only thing that's not scanned by HM Govt.
