Now looky here. This is a completely unfair statement. These disclaimers and/or
threats concerning misdirection are automatically added to outgoing mail by the system
and users have no control over it.
The poor sods are more deserving of sympathy with living with the embarrassment of
having this twaddle added to their mail without their consent. It is only a matter of
time before I will be so afflicted at work.
Living with a filtered/interferred-with/monitored corporate email system is a total
PITA but it is a reality for many people. I use mine at work as little as possible
privately. Don't take it out on us.
