I realize that most of us aren't lawyers, but we do have lots of widely knowledgeable people on the list, so...

I am most definitely not a lawyer, but I've seen the question asked many, many times and the answer is no.
That is my understanding as well, and the inclusion of such is a matter of derision among knowledgeable lawyers, and the sign of a totally incompetent legal department. It is the opinion of my friendly district attorney (to whom I've mentioned this issue in the past) that putting this on the bottom of an email is like stamping it on papers you leave laying around in the street, and expecting it to have any effect. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
