E-mail Dismissal Case

A court in Britain decided recently that a woman was unfairly fired for using her company’s computer to send explicit messages to her lover - presumably on company time.
I totally disagree with this ruling. Things may be different in Britain, but over here the e-mails she sent would certainly be cause for dismissal regardless of whether they were sent to a male or female lover. I thought everybody knew that companies have a right to monitor the e-mail you send at any time - and yet she flaunted the fact that her messages hadn’t been picked up by screeners. This woman sent things like “lick me nice and slow” through her work e-mail, for crying out loud! How is that not cause for dismissal?
