Egad!  This person has/had the same /i/d/i/o/t/ "lawyer" impose the 
useless-and-annoying tagline as the one that my company uses.

"...notify us by replying to the message and deleting it..."

You can't notify by deleting.

A clue needs acquiring. Perhaps if we track down the originator and lynch 
him, that would serve as a salutary example to others who insist on 
perpetrating such nonsense on the e-mail readers of the world.

If there is an IT person (or a lawyer) reading this list and thinking that 
it would be a wonderful and important sounding idea to copy that text and 
forcibly insert it after all e-mail coming out of your company's servers, 
please get a grip, you dweeb, you dolt, you twerp, you (where's my 
thesaurus when I need it)...
If you can't be intelligent, at least be grammatical.

Whew!

Sorry. Had to be said.    No reflection on Sanchita, who no doubt has no 
more control over such nonsense than I do when I'm at work (and for which 
I apologize on behalf of my employer).
