The most pathetic thing about these email footers is that it suggests that
the person who wrote them actually thought that e-mail might be a proper
method for conveying confidential or privileged information. Someone
should sue these lawyers for leading their recipients to think that it is.

E-mail is intrinsically insecure!!!! Anyone who pretends otherwise is
either severely deluded or lying.

The rule of thumb for e-mail, ALL e-mail, including private mail or PGP-
signed mail, is: DON'T SEND ANYTHING OVER E-MAIL THAT YOU DON'T WANT TO
SEE ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THE WASHINGTON POST (pick your favorite
newspaper).
