There's more than just privacy in this

I tell everyone at the office to treat their e-mail account the same as they would the company's letterhead stationery.

If you look at some of the recent cases/settlements on wall street, there may be other issues in play, such as sexual harassment. The problem may not just be the use of company time by someone getting their jollies. The distribution of the e-mail with the porn attached and the content of the mail message may be a big problem.
