So if I send an email to a corporation, that email should be defacto public?

If a corporation sends an email back to me, that email should also be defacto public?

I have a lot of emails coming to and going to corporations with very private information in them.

They stay private because it's in your interest that they stay so. There is nothing illegal about making your own mails public if you wish so (except if you signed a NDA).

If there are no relevant laws restricting the release of said information (FIRPA? HIPPA?) it's merely social pressures and convention that leave most communication private, not the law.

Pedantic, but I expect you really mean "(FERPA? HIPAA?)" here.

(The first is the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act, and the second is the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.)

Yeah, meant FERPA. Subliminal assault by phonics or something.
