Thank you for that article David, it nicely explained exactly what I was about to say.  If I receive an email from you, 
then you have provided that email and its contents freely without any contractual agreement from me regarding its use.  
I never understood why people used them.  It is like showing me an adult website and then afterwards displaying a 
disclaimer regarding its contents.  TOO LATE!

I have been asked to see if other IHEs make use of email disclaimers.  If you require or strongly recommend the use 
of email disclaimers at your institution would you kick me an off-list email to let me know?   I will compile the 
results (redacted) and post a summary back to the list.
What if we think they're silly and useless?  :)
