To follow up on a post from a month or two ago ... Yahoo! has decided to allow family members of a deceased soldier to access to his emails. I'm not entirely sure if this was court ordered, simply pressured by public opinion or settled because Yahoo! was going to lose in trial. Regardless, you might want to be careful about what you leave on public email servers. I, for one, probably wouldn't care if people got my email after I die ... that's pretty much because I'd be DEAD. At any point BEFORE that, however, hell no :-)
