Disclaimers placed at the footer of emails are meant to convey a specific message, usually about a company’s policies on privacy.
However, how would one be asked “not to read” an email they already received? Human nature does not dictate reading the disclaimer at the bottom of the email first 😀
Here’s an example:
This e-mail and any files or data transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual named above. If you have received this email in error and are not the intended recipient, please notify the sender by e-mail and immediately delete the message and all materials without reading them. If you are not the intended recipient, copying, forwarding or otherwise disseminating or distributing this information is prohibited.
Kinda like putting a 100% true banner ‘at the end’ of a blog post. Go figure..
Kevin – Oranges and apples. A blog post is a permanent, public message. An email is a personal piece of communication meant for a sole (or specifically several) recipient(s).
Either way, they don’t get the ‘notification’ – til the ‘end’!!

Hey Kevin,
Don’t you like suspense?
