There is a huge difference between email privacy and this.  This is
often considered a possible breach of *copyright* law, since
permission wasn't given to republish the letter (this is more of an
issue in more public forums, such as USENET).

Regardless, it is plain indecent.  It has little to do with law, and
everything to do with netiquette and just plain moral common sense.
Your argument about email privacy is completely irrelevant, IMO.
