simply because it was behind an alias and one of many hundreds of millions sent out that day, one needle in a huge haystack. No one would have paid any attention to it.

Not so the official, "secure" email account. The NSA pays particular attention to those and they have also been prone to hacking.

No email is ever really private and things live forever in cyberspace. If you want your mail to be private, you need to spend the money on a stamp--or schedule a diplomatic courier with a locked bag.
