In general, confidentiality is only expected if you already have an agreement or working relationship where that is expected or agreed to. A message to a mailing list, as others have said, looks silly. The notice does not have force just by being attached to an email; any force it does have derives from invoking such an existing climate of confidentiality. If every message you send has such a notice attached, the recipient has no means of judging which messages should be considered confidential. Having the notice at the end of the email doesn't help either. My suggestions: if (and only if) a message would have an expectation of confidentiality it should be marked as such in the first line. (I imagine you've seen a few spy movies; remember the documents with "Confidential: Eyes Only" notices at the top? Same concept. You may find it appropriate to replace the "Eyes Only" part with "Do Not Forward Outside the Company" or "For Internal or Partner Use Only".) (The above statements may be more or less true depending on the legal environment in your country of residence. If you know of legislation or case law which significantly contradicts them, please post a reference. IANAL, etc.)
after all im not the only one with such a signature here or on any other mailinglist, so why this all of a sudden reaction on it? arent you guys a bit late with that?
Yours included the "by reading this mail you agree" phrasing. Also, we need to start somewhere, why not with yours?
2. i am not the web designer, but i forwarded that information to our webdesigner, thank you for the input:)
