I guess you are unaware that many companies (such as the one I work for) have a policy in place on their mail servers 
whereby the various notices, disclaimers, etc. are automatically appended to any outgoing mail.  My company has been 
doing this at least as far back as 2004 (http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200407/msg00427.html).  At the 
time, I even contacted our IT group to ask that the disclaimers be removed from outgoing e-mails, particularly when 
they are being sent to open-source mailing lists such as this one.  But as you can tell by the annoying disclaimer 
that will inevitably be appended to this e-mail, I was unsuccessful.  As stupid as they are, these disclaimers are 
not likely to go away IMO.
 
Piece of advice from http://www.cygwin.com/ml/#disclaimer-bounce might help.

If your company servers automatically add it, either persuade your
sysadmins to turn it off for the lists, post from home, or use a free
web-based e-mail service. There's enough of them out there.

This email and any files transmitted with it are full of nonsense. 
If you read it, you owe me the contents of your wallet.
CAUTION: Contents may have settled in packing or shipping. Void basically everywhere.
