We also receive most e mails with disclaimers etc on the bottom. I am not sure how much weight they have legally however one of our customers is a large firm of lawyers also based in the UK. Since they put disclaimers on their e mails I tend to feel it's a good idea, I have pretty much copied their wording for our own since I am sure one of the senior partners probably checked it before they started using it.
Check out the disclaimer at the bottom of this e mail and feel free to use/amend it for your own use.

I was interested to see that IMail can append footers to emails (thanks to those posting the info). It has got me wondering if our small firm should do the same. But what to use it for? We get some that include simple sales messages. Others (the most common) carry a legal disclaimer of some sort. And most don't have one at all.
I would be interested in hearing the views of this group on whether these footers are a good idea, and if so, what is the best use of them.
Concerning the legal disclaimer bit, does anyone know if these carry any legal utility? They seem to vary hugely between different firms - is there any consensus on what they need to say?
Look forward to hearing your thoughts.
