Whats wrong on having a disclaimer text below mails?
Disclaimer texts may not be neat on mails. But having a disclaimer text in
place could save the company from some legal trouble in the future. Most
companies (including ours) have banned free web based email sites such as
yahoo and hotmail.
My company requires that all emails have a lengthy singnature at the end.
Disclaimer texts may be an inconvenience at the user end, but it is good for
a company. Some time in the future we too may have disclaimer texts.
Whether we like it or not, we are going to have more and more companies having
a disclaimer para in their mails in the future. Better we learn to live with
it from now.

The posting on using the company email ID and disclaimers is disappointing.
Legally- it's valid to participate in public forum. It you have read the
disclaimer keenly- "intended recipient(s)" is the key. By posting to the
public forum the particular mail and content is available for that
particular list. Principally -Is it against "open source philosophy" to
post from the EVIL- private-corporate -money minded enterprise? Hmm...Linus
does post from Transmeta ID! Practicality- Company email is most efficient
and convenient to use, more over we can't access to web-mails :(. Please
give me a valid reason why I should not post from company ID? Just making a
STATEMENT is no good. - Ananth
This sort of disclaimers should not exist in the mails that are posted
to public mailing lists. If you firm (CTS) insists that you should have
this disclaimer in every mail or they automatically attach this, then
use your private e-mail address for discussion forums.
***** This is not only for you. Now-a-days I see a lot of people posting
to the mailing list with their firm's disclaimer. This should be
avoided. *****
