I've recently written a three page memo about the advantages of our username scheme compared to "friendly name" email addresses in large domains. I have put a copy of the PDF on the web which you can read if you like.

All good points. The embarrassing situation of sensitive financial information landing in an undergrad mailbox rather than with the director of finance happened up here in the North earlier in the year.

We took the potentially controversial decision to delete it directly out of the users mailbox in the end. Not something that I was overly happy at having to do.
