On PM today Chris Vallance will take a look at the footers at the end of email; you know the kind of thing, the legal disclaimers which say things like:

"If you are not the addressee, any disclosure, reproduction, copying, distribution or other dissemination or use of this communication is strictly prohibited. If you have received this transmission in error please notify the sender immediately and then delete this e-mail."

That was at the end of an email from a swimming pool. Some of these footers can get very long and they waste a lot of paper when printed out (our office record currently stands at 11 pages of accumulated footers in one email exchange)

But do these legal notices actually serve any purpose? If you've an example of a particularly long winded, jargon filled and largely irrelevant email footer we'd like to hear from you.
