I never said otherwise. I did say that from a liability standpoint it
is reasonable to inject it and everyone who can ignore it should
simply ignore it.

innocous.

Your attorney will likely advise you that boiler plate language between
two people who have not previously agreed to honor it is unlikely to be
interpreted as conferring benefit on the sender, and then invoice you
for their time.

Asserting privilege one does not in fact have is far from innocuous...

but neither of us are lawyer's so this isn't advice.

Don't them it if you don't want to or perhaps a filter on keywords?

Bingo! ;)
That sort of gratuitous "add it to everything because our software is too
stupid to sort it out" is *this* close to what the legal eagles call
"overwarning".  Just sayin'.

(Basically, your site and everybody else's site sticks it on everything,
all the recipients just ignore it the same way we almost always ignore
Received: headers because they're on every message and very rarely have
any useful content - with the end result that if you stick it on a
message
that *matters*, it will still get ignored....)

Oh, and is your company ready to indemnify my employer for the costs of
"destroy all copies of the original message" sufficiently thoroughly to
prevent recovery by a competent forensics expert? This may include, but
not be limited to, the main mail store for 70,000 people, backup tapes,
and other mail systems where the data may have been logically deleted but
as yet not overwritten.  Just sayin'. ;)
