my husband and I share a computer, he often reads my e mail. Doesn't bother me but do tease him that it is like opening mail not addressed to him. I open his email to check if his relatives have contacted him. He is a very lazy corresponent so I bug him to write.

In their case no doubt he was looking for anything to use as amunition in the divorce.

Just for comparison I am curious is this the same penalties that applied to opening others US postal mail?
