Perhaps others have complained. If enough people complain, maybe
they'll do something.

After all, that boilerplate just makes the corporation look stupid and
incompetent.  Any email that leaves the corporate network must be
assumed to be visible to world+dog.  Anybody who thinks differently is
deluded and should not be allowed access to information that is
"confidential and subject to privledge".

But, I'm sure there's a lawyer somewhere who's trying to cover his
ass regardless of how foolish it looks...
