Then most companies must have management that can't follow more than two
logical consecutive steps in a simple thought process.
Show your management my anti-disclaimer disclaimer:

This e-mail puts you on notice that I will not be bound by your
confidentiality notice and will feel free to review, disclose,
distribute, archive, laugh at, be amused by, poke fun publicly at,
and/or publish anything I get in e-mail, either directly or indirectly,
and whether intended for me or not, without any further notice. If you
don't feel comfortable with that, I suggest that you not send any
e-mail, especially not to me or any mailing list I might subscribe to;
or at least that you always use strong digital encryption to ensure that
your e-mail can't be read by anyone other than its intended
recipient(s). There are many ways to do this, including using such
widely available tools as PGP, GPG, or even S/Mime.
So in fact what you have done by adding such a lame and powerless
disclaimer is to say in effect "We are adding this disclaimer because we
acknowledge we are not taking sufficient measures to properly and truly
protect our e-mail traffic by using encryption tools as we should be
doing...."
I apologize to you if it was not your decision to add this notice to
your e-mail. However, given the number of places that have legalized
shrink wrap licenses and the similarity of your notice to same, I feel
like it is incumbent on me to put you and your company on notice
immediately regarding my rejection of your disclaimer. Please forward
this message to whoever in your legal department or management chain you
deem as appropriate.

If you and/or your PHB still think your mailer should automatically
attach a stupid disclaimer like this one to all your outgoing e-mail
then please also read this:
