But why is that the case? I've done some research on this matter and by and large it seems that email disclaimers are not enforceable for a number of reasons, top of which being common sense. If i'm not supposed to read a particular email how can I read the disclaimer without reading the email? Especially if the disclaimer is at the end?
The irony of e-mail disclaimers is that a company that enforces them forgets to enforce the same on _ALL_ envelops (read snail mail) and even the actual letters they send out.
On e-mail, they only disclaim _after_ you have read the e-mail, and have made your mind anyway. I wish they could find a way to do it along the lines of the caution the law enforcement officers usually give to a person being placed under arrest - "you are not obliged to ..blah..blah..".
Actually, who in the management ever worries about these stupid disclaimers? Is it the legal officers or the ICT Managers? In whichever case, I can only say stupid. They never think about them.
