the only Email signature scarier than Joe's..



Who knows what menace lies in the confidentiality email footer.  Now
what I really want to see is a bug embedded in the footer that alters
the email itself.  Wouldn't that be a gas?

This is one I got from a friend at GMAC Mortgage:

*************************** Internet E-mail Confidentiality
Footer*********************************** 
The information contained in this communication is confidential and
privileged proprietary information intended only for the personal and
confidential use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed. If
you are not the addressee indicated in this message (or an agent
responsible for delivery of the message to such person), you are hereby
notified that you have received this communication in error and that any

kindly notify the sender by reply e-mail.

How exactly would one "destroy" an email?  Setting you computer on fire?

We can't even control the footers in my office; they are automatically
attached to each and every email no matter what.  It's disconcerting,
actually.

Since Joe's email signature has been a source of
amusement/frustration/anxiety/paranoia, I thought I'd pass along this
one
that came my way...
Seems the list has been slow and we could all use a laugh about now.
