Dave,

IPers might enjoy my article about a legal dispute over the privacy of e-mail communications that has, I believe, not 
been made public until now:

It's a case in Colorado where the Justice Department is seeking the contents of a Yahoo Mail account. Yahoo has been 
fighting the request. Google, EFF, CDT, the Progress and Freedom Foundation, and some other like-minded groups have 
filed an amicus brief saying that a search warrant is required to gain access to email.

The effort involves many of the same groups involved in the Digital Due Process Coalition:
