Do surviving relatives have a right to read their deceased son’s, daughter’s, husband’s or wife’s communications with other people whose lives could then subsequently be completely altered as a result? What would your email service providers do with all your messages? Who should make that decision, and when should that decision be made?

very interesting topic.
i can only speak for myself in that, if there's something i don't want someone knowing about, i won't put it in writing, anywhere. in this, i have nothing to fear of private information being discovered after my death.
i think i can understand a family wanting closure by reading the deceased's last words and thoughts through e-mail... but for me, a friend or family member's private life is still private after death. i wouldn't feel i have the right to go through personal information and correspondence just because they have passed away.
it's a very tricky subject, i think...
