If the message is appended by the email server of the sender's
employer, it is intended to cover a fairly specific situation, the
use of company email to transmit proprietary information to
customers, development partner firms, etc. In these cases the
recipients have usually signed nondisclosure agreements, and
these do carry legal consequences with real teeth in them in
the event that any information sent to the recipients is shared
with others without proper authorization. The reason these
messages are appended to everything that goes out from the
company is, of course, that users can't be relied upon to know
when the message is really needed and to append them manually
whenever it is really needed.

I'm talking about those ugly paragraphs of pseudo-legalese that either beg or command the reader to treat our missives as confidential property of the originator, especially if/when we are so dumb as to send to an unintended recipient.
