[ILUG] Mail Footers...

[Breathnach, Proinnsias (Dublin)]

The main reason that the disclaimer isn't in the header is that AFAIK
(IANAL) it's not legally binding unless it's in plain sight. The same reason
they generally don't point you to a web-page.
Don't get me wrong, I hate the 3 line messages with the 40 line disclaimer,
but that's the way they have to do it, until someone comes up with a legally
binding alternative !
