I got complete agreement from every JD about the disclaimers at the bottom - they cannot tell you after you have received the e-mail that you cannot keep the e-mail. Someone sends you something, it is yours. Period. (Of course, every single one then back-peddled and talked about how nothing is certain if it goes to court and typical CYA Lawyer BS.)

So at least the part about "if you are not the intended recipient, I get your first born 'cause you already read the e-mail before seeing this disclosure" is complete and utter BS.
