Phew! Thanks Frank! I was a bit worried about that - in Australia it is generally thought that those in the US are extremely litigious (sic?), and that it pays to be veeeeery careful...

BTW, Tan,
A final note. I don't think you "majorly broke the law" by reproducing that e-mail in it's entirety.
That weaselly disclaimer statement is just their way of trying to say, "You know what, we screwed up royally by sending an e-mail, in error, to someone to whom we didn't intend to send it. If, due to our error, that receipient does something with it to screw up our company, we want to try to sue him, even though ~we~ screwed up."
Now, if there's one thing you have to know about the law, it's that having a law means nothing. Enforcing it means everything.
No one's going to come after you for reproducing the e-mail. All you did, after all, was send it to the very same group to which they sent it in error! Remember, we all got the same "out of office" reply. And, even if we didn't all get it, there's nothing damaging to Max' company in that e-mail, so they've suffered no damages, so why would they want to try to enforce their alleged copyright? There's nothing to enforce, without damages.
So, again, relax. Have a nice cuppa tea (I'd say beer, but I know you don't drink). Go take more lovely photographs. And, have a nice day.
cheers, frank

Secondly, I just realised that I majorly broke the law by posting that email in its entirety with the disclaimer attached, I'll probably get into "trouble" for that too. <snip>
