To avoid that, you need to have never used email and be able to prove it.
Impossible, of course.
To be effective, a whistle-blower at a company he has noticed tampering
with his email (and it's hard to be a whistle-blower in one's first day or
two at work) really shouldn't use company email as part of the
whistle-blowing.
Since one can't be sure even not having noticed, a whistle-blower shouldn't
use company mail at all.
I think you're reaching a bit.
Note please the following: I'm not advocating adding disclaimers, etc.
And I would most likely not take part. Nor was I claiming it was either
proper or legal...I was claiming it *MIGHT* be legal in the face of claims
that it clearly wasn't, at least some places.
