Well, in my case I work for a public agency, so my work account is subject
to public Freedom Of Information Act requests *anyway*.  If the NSA spied
on it it would only be because they were too lazy to fill out FOIA
paperwork. ;)

As far as my personal mail goes, I can't host at home because I'm on a
cable ISP that blocks outgoing email, and I doubt some rinky-dink virtual
server provider would put up any more of a fight against the NSA than
Google will.  Sending it overseas would be worse, because it would
concentrate all the traffic over a small number of easily tapped cables.
