It also crosses an interesting legal line. If your an ISP customer and it's ok for the ISP to read your data stream and alter it in real time to provide NAT, why wouldn't it be legal for them to read your e-mail in real time as it passes, and alter what you said? The same boxes could do it. What makes it ok to alter an IP address here and there, but not alter a word? Why are they different?
Leo, let's not get crazy here. One is content, the other a content-delivery mechanism. Think about the post office. It's perfectly acceptable for them to stamp a forwarded address on the envelope to ensure it's delivery, but perfectly unacceptable to modify the content inside. I know you're being facetious, but come on...
