The thing is that in the UK it is now a legal requirement that some  
form of footer is included on all company generated email (See http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/12/21/new_web_email_regulation/ 
  ). The problem is that most managers/ companies take the opportunity  
to then add 3 more paragraphs of completely unenforceable rubbish. The  
auditors to one of my client's have more disclaimer than content in  
99.5% of their emails. The finance departments are under instruction  
not to print their emails as the paper wasted in disclaimers is huge!
