I think everyone's aware that those disclaimers are automatically appended.
I think the idea is to bring the ridiculousness of the disclaimer to the
attention of the OP, who will be in a better position to have somebody
remove it.
One mail list I subscribe to, the majordomo recognizes a special keyword,
--LongSig (case-sensitive). The majordomo then replaces all text after that
keyword with something like [**Long signature truncated**]
Any possibility of getting something like that implemented on this list?
