"So he thinks emails can't be spied on." Actually... if you use a console based email program (like pine) that you use over SSH, then all of your email to other users on the same system never traverse a network. If it's a web based interface, then you need to worry about stripping SSL and rogue CAs and all of those threats. But if two people SSH into the same system and send email to each other with pine (or elm or whatever), the email itself never traverses a network (it's just a local copy operation) and the reading of the email is over SSH. It may interest you to know that not one single piece of rsync.net internal company email has ever traversed a network.
