In Germany e-mail is still covered under the mail laws and hence have the same status as a letter. Simply put, it is one thing for the government to read your e-mail if it has anything to do with law enforcement action and is properly sanctioned. It is another if some company just reads your conversation and uses the information to target you based on the content with advertisement!
