Perhaps posting to the general php list would garner some further responses. > > IMPORTANT NOTICE The information in this e-mail is confidential <rant mode=on> Not to pick solely on you, but I find these types of notices very humorous when sent to public mailing lists - it seems like the very act of attaching them to what are essentially public notices would dilute their usefulness if you ever wanted to sue someone over reposting truly confidiential info (include 'IANAL.php';). I'm assuming your employer's mail server attaches these to every outbound message from your company, but perhaps there'd be a way for your postmaster to make it a little less brain-dead by not attaching it to mail sent to certain addresses, namely _any_ public mailing list. </rant> I feel better....
