Why don't you, at least, include a "signature" line at the end of /your/ text.
That way, the automatically-added "confidentiality clause" will end up
appended to the signature. Since many news readers discard or suppress
display of the signature, the "confidentiality clause" won't be as much of an
issue.

A signature begins with a line consisting only of two hyphens followed by a
space. Any lines that follow that line are considered to be part of the
signature.
