I played with their product, disclaimit, in beta about 6 months ago. It was pretty good. I hope my company never forces its use. But for some this is the perfect solution.
I already do flash and DHTML in email, so having that within a disclaimer is, well, old hat (using stationery on some apps). It's not something to look forward to, more like something to forget. What is 'efficacy' and do I need mine improved?

Starting at the 6th paragraph, read about how Red Earth's "Policy Patrol" is the Mother Of All Disclaimer Software <http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/28/23732.html>: "Now, if that corporate caveat really rattled your cage, there's more bad news. In a move that has a ring of horrible inevitability about it, US company Red Earth Software has released Policy Patrol. Apparently, this NEW DISCLAIMER SOFTWARE IMPROVES EFFECT OF DISCLAIMER NOTICE (their caps, btw), offering advanced disclaimer functionality such as user-based disclaimers, formatting and merge fields. These features increase the relevancy of disclaimers and thus improve their efficacy. "But how, you gasp, is this possible? Well, Policy Patrol allows companies to add more specific disclaimer notices by offering user-based and context sensitive disclaimers. The user-based disclaimer functionality enables companies to adjust statements according to a particular user or department, therefore increasing the relevance of the disclaimer. "Magnus Andersson, technical director of Red Earth Software, continues: "We designed Policy Patrol because the current offer of disclaimer functionality is very basic. Larger companies cannot settle for the same disclaimer for everyone within their organization. They need a flexible, professional disclaimer solution that can be adjusted to their exact needs. With the increasing use of disclaimers, non-specific disclaimers are simply not having the desired effect any more." "Spot on. And when people start to ignore html formatted disclaimers, we can look forward to Flash pop-up disclaimers and DHTML drop-down caveats. Onwards and upwards.® BOOTNOTE: "Since you're no doubt now fired up with renewed enthusiasm for the future of email disclaimers, why not download the Red Earth Software's 'Email disclaimers' white paper here. <http://www.policypatrol.com/docs/Emaildisclaimerswp.pdf> "Disclaimer: We have not in fact ourselves downloaded this disclaimer white paper and can therefore not be held responsible for its content or any side-effects resulting from exposure to same. Your statutory rights are not affected. May contain traces of nuts." Cheers! Dan Please CC any replies to me as I'm a DIGEST subscriber. Thanks!
