Apparent MessageLabs disclaimer

[Drew Marshall]

I've attached a copy for the records. It was actually processed via BT's
partnership with Messagelabs as can be seen. Sorry is a graphic but I was
passed the message in printed form by one of my directors (Who doesn't
quite live in a paperless society!). Sorry I had to obscure the rest, as
it was quite sensitive ;-) and yes, my scanner has broken so it's from my
fax to email server.
