Etaoin, you can always rely on Saki to do that for you. I hope you found your way to the other Clovis stories on that site -- and that you have a couple of hours to spare.  Bingley

Thanks for inserting a Steely Dan earworm into my cranium, IP.
I'm sure there's no problem, Ricky, but for heaven's sake don't lose that number ...

epistlepredation
The act of preying on another's private correspondence;
"espitlepredator" - one who does this (also known as an espistlepeeper); also, "espistlepredatory"
Usuage:
"People who peep into other people's letters are peeping into other people's lives. It is a particularly pernicious invasion of personal privacy sometimes known as "espistlepredation".
Epistlepredators seldom go to jail, but they sometimes receive nasty letters addressed to other people designed to discourage their epistlepredatory practices."

Epistealth
Elegant, TEdRem.
I'm not sure if it's enuf of an insult, but it is certainly elegant.
I like it. Clean. Clear. Elegant. It certainly deserves to be part of the language in some application.
For instance, epistlestealth can begin by accident and end up in full-blown epistlepredation.
