such as "this message is for its intended recipient only" do not have any
practical force of law. I can make any assertions whatsoever in my email
such as, "By reading this email you agree to pay me $1000 or else!" Saying
it doesn't make it legal.
That said, it (can) sound cool. And some disclaimers about policies or
opinions may actually make some sense. There is quite a bit of stuff on the
internets on disclaimers courtesy of the Great Google.
Anyone else have a different read?
