Don't be an idiot. If there exists corporate wide filtering at the server,

what makes you think it won't be a great way to filter email, (i.e.,

READ) for just about anything? It's bad enough that employers would

stoop to any kind of perusing of email, but that doesn't mean you should

insist upon it becuase you can't figure out how to change your mail

client. Quite frankly, I find it really difficult to get all that excited about

self-limiting stupidity. What a smart corporation would do is fire the idiot

that was too stupid to notice the corporate welfare depeds upon not being

able to count on everyone excersising the judgement required to use

the software safely, espicially in this case where it doesn't seem to be

possible. Isn't choosing corporate policy regarding the types of software

the company will profit in using what they get paid to do? Isn't it rather

difficult to profit if employees wipe out their work on a regular basis and it

just gets written off to someone overseas that will never get caught or

if so, never reimbures the losses. Other employess get fired for

stupid decisions, why not IT personel, or is the "I" for idiot?
