Encryption
Through the use of encryption people can feel extremely protected of their 
privacy.  Encryption systems scramble your e-mail by altering the characters in 
your message.  The only people who can read it are the one's that know the 
encryption key to decode the message.  Although it is not totally fool proof it 
does prevent it from being sniffed.  This is why the government doesn't like 
encryption because they can't monitor the e-mails for security against 
terrorism unless they have a court order to decode it.
