As part of the revolution in high-tech communications, electronic mail, or E-mail, has soared in popularity since appearing in the mid-1980s. Over 40 million U.S. residents now regularly "E-mail" each other by computer. Faster and cheaper than traditional mail, this correspondence is commonly sent over office networks, through national services such as CompuServe Incorporated and MCI Mail, and across the global computer network known as the Internet. It is, however, less secure than traditional mail, even though federal law protects E-mail from unauthorized tampering and interception. Under the Electronic Communications Privacy Act of 1986 (ECPA) (Pub. L. No. 99-508, Oct. 21, 1986, 100 Stat. 1848), third parties are forbidden to read private E-mail. However, a loophole in the ECPA that allows employers to read their workers' E-mail has proved especially controversial. This has provoked several lawsuits and produced legislative and extralegal proposals to increase E-mail privacy.
