Fellow ListServers:
I would like to get reactions from list members, particularly those from public agencies, on the use of confidentiality statements on e-mails - an example of which could be:
"This email may contain confidential and privileged material for the sole use of the intended recipient(s).  Any review, use, distribution or disclosure by others is strictly prohibited.  If you are not the intended recipient (or authorized to receive for the recipient), please contact the sender by reply email and delete all copies of this message."
My questions are 1) do you use one?  2) on EVERY e-mail, internal and external? and 3) Why? What benefit do you perceive the message achieves?
As a public agency where ALMOST everything we do is a public record, it seems like inconsequential overkill, not to mention unenforceable.  Yet I see it everywhere, it appears to be a best practice.  What am I missing?
