I know this is OT, but like Kurt, I get kinda annoyed by all these as well.
The confidentiality statement says the information "is intended only for the person or entity to which it is addressed". If my name is on the TO line, it is addressed to me... I think Kurt has a point about it being at the end. I certainly don't read every e-mail I get to the end. Some interfaces even cut it off if it gets too long... Isn't reading the message the same as "reviewing" the message? -Brian -----Original Message----- From: John Cook [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, January 02, 2008 11:22 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Sig lines & disclaimers (was RE: Happy new year) Everyone is entitled to their opinions. Said disclaimer was approved by a legal group on retainer (that's a group of board certified lawyers if it's not clear) that actually knows what they are talking about, which school of law did you graduate from? If you actually read it you would have realized that while reading the message was fine (even if you received it by mistake) doing anything other than destroying it (unless you were the intended recipient) is prohibited. You DO read the entire text of every EULA you click ok for don't you?????? John W.

Not worth a flame, but that disclaimer is certainly not worth including, either. No lawyer worth his salt will defend such a thing in court, because it's basically worthless. Not only is it a footer, which means you only get to see it *after* you've read the message, you can't enforce it after it's arrived in someone's inbox by mistake.
