Yes, and perhaps disclaimers/confidentiality notices should be
standardized with their own MIME type to make automatic
processing easier so receivers of this kind of notice
(mailing-list or other) can respect the wishes of the sender.

What did you have in mind?  Something like

  Content-type: text/legal-noise; charset=...

or perhaps

  Content-type: text/noise; noise-type="bogus-legal-disclaimer",
charset=...

:-(


No, I was serious.  I think that the best response to this kind of stuff is to
do what they ask to the letter.  If we can convince the senders that annotating
their notice with an header will permit us to obey their request, everybody 
wins.
