But don't we?  Dobby shows the letters to Harry after
inadvertantly revealing that he'd been stealing them,
and Harry grabs them.  I never thought of the mail
theft as something that Lucius inspired, but rather
something Dobby did on his own to make Harry think his
friends and forgotten him.  Thus, Lucius never even
knew Dobby had the letters, much less got to read them
and use the information inside them.
 
Just my two Knuts on the subject. :)
