If you are not the intended recipient you must not disseminate, copy or take any action in reliance on it, and we request that you notify companyname immediately. Such disclaimers are inappropriate for mail sent to public lists. If your company automatically adds something like this to outgoing mail, and you can't convince them to stop, you might consider using a free web-based e-mail account. > Once we do that, I could easily start bouncing messages which contain > confidentiality trailers.
