A good rule of thumb to use, in regard to E-mail, is NEVER send
anything through E-mail, and I include private E-mail to a trusted
recipient, that you would not want to see in the front page of
tomorrow's paper. E-mail, like cell phones, is simply not a secure
means of communication.

E-mail to a list, doubly so. Even if your boss is not subscribed
today, he may subscribe tomorrow and see people's replies (including
quotes of your original letter). Or he may subscribe next year and
look through the archives. Or he may do a web search on a term that
shows up in your post and stumble on the archives that way.
