Well, I can think of several reasons why confidential and confidentiality etc may be used in legit emails. I receive many emails with confidentiality disclaimers attached at the bottom. I'm sure you may have seen a few. Disclaimers that say the contents of this email are confidential blah blah blah. When you deal with financial institutions such as retail and wholesale mortgage lenders and legal firms you see those types of phrases all the time. I know a rule based on those phrases would be give me a huge number of false positives. Of course, your milage may vary. ;-) Mike
