It _might_ be illegal.

If an employee of company X sends mail to an employee of company Y, in  
their official capacities, it's perfectly likely that sysadmins at X  
and Y are entitled to read it.  If in the course of its transmission  
the mail passes through a country whose attitude to privacy is a  
little less developed that yours and mine, it's perfectly likely that  
they can read it legally, too.
