This is some basic "human rights" shit, right there. Nobody has any business touching someone else's correspondence.

No to mention illegal in quite a lot of jurisdictions IIRC.

Not sure about the hat (maybe something about Napoleon going down at sea? Losing the battle of Waterloo), but floating wood sounds ideal to make a boat of.
JimC:
The robot blushing thing made me think its a case where the realisation "hey we can do this cool thing" completely obliterates the question "*Should* we do this cool thing".
Whilst I agree that opening mail ought only to happen with permission, its a common enough thing for anyone with a significant public profile. And if Hanners were to garner significant public notability I submit it would be a very good thing for her mail to be weirdo screened before she sees it.
BenRG:
--- Quote from: swapna on 12 Dec 2017, 03:55 ---Yeah, I was surprised at that question, too. Winslow's her companion/roommate, there's exactly no reason why he would be allowed to touch personal mail. Tilly themselves as a PA should be aware that there are boundaries - they might be allowed to open business correspondence, but they'd still need to ask permission. Also,even if Winslow was allowed to open mail, that permission wouldn't automatically extend to Tilly.

It's an interesting thing because, up until very recently, Winslow was the controlling intelligence of Hannelore's PDA. So, it is very possible that he has read every email sent to her and that she has sent for years. It may literally not occur to him that there is a limit to the access he should have to her personal communications.
Similarly, most PAs find themselves dealing with their principals' personal correspondence to determine if they need to give it to their boss for their personal attention or if they can handle it instead. Generally, this is handled in job orientation, so it is actually a question that Tilly would want to ask.

That would be the Nile, and Trafalgar, really. Waterloo is decidedly not at sea.
It's a quote often attributed to Buonaparte: "Wherever wood floats, there you will find this flag of England."

Ok, we just reached the point where this Tilly arc makes me cringe...
