    my immediate idea is that if the CEO can't trust the admin, the
    company should get rid of the admin and/or the CEO.

    and anyone with either physical or network access to the PC where
    the email is read. Or in transit (network sniffer) or ...

    And last but not least: after receiving a message, it is probably
    printed out (in clear text hopefully) and ends up in the normal
    trashcan because of lazyness.
