Some NDA's require that you must state your intent for each communication that should be covered by the NDA. As much as everyone would like to believe these are wothless, they are not. Applying them globally to your email protects your legal rights. It is also innocous.
Martin, Actually that's not a great idea. A notice that the recipient is expected to handle information with unusual attention to confidentiality is required by law to stand out so that there isn't any ambiguity about the duties demanded of the recipient. Trade secret cases have been lost because a sender relied on the email boilerplate, the recipient produced intentionally public emails with the same boilerplate, and the recipient asserted that he had no reason to believe the particular message was any more sensitive than the sender's routine public messages.
