In a business environment our lawyers reckon its a good idea.
When I am using my "work" email I have the following
"Unless otherwise indicated the information contained in this message is
privileged, confidential and intended for the use of the recipient named
above. Any unauthorised use of the contents is expressly prohibited. As
some parts of this e-mail may be protected by copyright and trademark,
all rights are reserved for the copyright or trademark owner. If the
reader of this message is not the intended recipient (or the employee or
agent responsible for delivery to the intended person), you are hereby
notified that any dissemination, distribution, or copying of this
communication is prohibited.
If you have received this communication or attachment(s) in error,
please reply to the sender from which you received it and delete this
message in its entirety."
Feel free to use this as part of your email signature and save the cost,
It also reminds me that emails are a legal document and are tendered in
court as evidence (we recently had a case - business issue - where an
email saved a lot of $$ and was accepted as evidence)
Oh, I should add a disclaimer - this disclaimer is free to use by anyone
but if the stuff hits the fan dont blame me,

Dear all
I am interested in the opinions of the list regarding a disclaimer
footer for e-mails. I have received many e-mails from various
organisations including other medical practices with such footers. We
have such a footer on our faxes but not yet on our clinic e-mails.
Firstly, what do people think about the usefulness or legal protection
they provide?
Secondly, if we are to implement this, what is the best method to do
this across our clinic network of 15 computers using (shock horror)
Outlook via Exchange on SBS server? I have thought of doing it on each
workstation for each user, but this gets messy and very labour intensive
to maintain. Our IT support tech suggests that using the automatic
insertion in Outlook will not incorporate it into replies either. He has
recommended a program called DisclaimIt from Netal at
http://www.netal.com/disclaimit.htm that costs $171 for a 25 user
licence. Does anyone have any other suggestions (other than changing our
e-mail client and using Linux based systems) or experience with this
program?
