Absolutely, yes. Don't worry about it. Email is public while it is in
transit, anyway. You should consider email messages not to be letters,
but postcards. Anyone who wishes can see your messages as they pass
through your internet service provider's servers, and those of the
recipient.

Nobody ever does because there are many billions a day and most are
totally uninteresting to anyone else.
