But I think its not legal to do that(even if email has virus). Because I think email should not be scanned(even if by a 'DUMB' program) without permission of sender or receiver.
Well, just because you think it shouldn't, does not make it illegal.
VSNL (and all ESPs for that matter) has no legal obligation to *not* look at your email. They are well with their rights to do anything they want with your email, including modifying the contents completely.
If you don't like that, encrypt and sign your mail.
