Re: Email Disclaimers...Legally Liable if breached?

They don't carry any legal weight at all because they're after the content of the message and forcibly trying to order 
a 3rd party into some sort of legally binding agreement after the fact (reading the contents of the message) would 
never hold up in a court.  An EULA would have a far better chance of holding up that the waste of badwidth that these 
words pose.  They're just someones feel good precaution.

Subject: [Full-disclosure] Email Disclaimers...Legally Liable if breached?


It is common these days for email messages to contain a disclosure notice, which may include statements such as: 
  
 
* You must read the notice
 
  
 
* The views expressed in the accompanying email are not necessarily those of the company 
 
  
 
* The email and any attachments should be checked for viruses. 
 
 Do these notices carry any legal force?  Why or Why not?
