Equally annoying are systems that attach a disclaimer to the mail, not
matter how stupid it is (My favorite is "this mail may contain confidenti=
al
or priviledged  information" - sure makes *ME* get warm and fuzzy thinkin=
g

(Yes, it has operational impact - ever gotten a trouble report via e-mail=
 and
the disclaimer says you're not allowed to forward it to the engineer who
can actually fix the problem? ;)
