um as long as there was no super personal information.. and you said your name was not posted then definitely not... he probably just thought you had a relevant question that other people may be thinking to ask... assuming that would be the only reason you would e-mail your professor.

Legal? Yes. Once you send a letter (email or not), it belongs to the recipient, not you. Generally speaking, it's the professor's to do with as he likes. You might want to inquire into university policy to see if you have any recourse there. It seems like a longshot, particularly where your identity wasn't mentioned. If your identity was readily apparent, even without revealing your name, the university admin. might speak to the professor about it.

I believe it is legal...but I'm not sure its ethical, he really should have asked your permission, but since he didn't disclose your identity to the class its not illegal, especially if he used it as an example for his lecture. You should talk to him about it, and only if he is rude and chooses not to listen to you, should you go to your school board....or Principal (depending on your level of education)

I think it would be more of a question of professionalism and ethics here than one of legality. Once you click "send," I do believe the e-mail becomes the property of the professor. However, I'm assuming that you did send it to him in good faith regarding some concern of yours. Therefore, if the posting of the e-mail has embarrassed or slighted you in some way, then perhaps it becomes a question of betrayal of your faith in this professor even if he did not use your name.

Yes, it is legal. When you send someone something, it becomes their property. He could have done the same thing with naked pictures of you if you had sent them, too. You have no expectation of privacy in written correspondence, regardless of how it is transmitted. Depending upon what it said, he could have used your name, too.

depends upon the kind of email you have sent... if it has something to do with your class discussion, then be it but if it's more personal or the like.... he sucks!

Only to show bad grammar, you have the right to remain silent...
