"...Any unauthorized copying, disclosure or distribution of the material in this e-mail is strictly forbidden...."
In the United States, several courts have ruled that email disclaimers may have a legal effect when intentionally included in an email, generally before the text of the email or in the body of the email. However, no court appears to have ruled on the effectiveness of boilerplate email disclaimers appearing below the signature line in every email.[13]
In the EU, there is a directive which strikes down legal obligations which have been imposed and this would make disclaimers unenforceable. Disclaimers appear to have arisen as a result of imitation and habit rather than because they are effective. As a result, most people no longer take them seriously.
