The Sig From Hell

Yesterday I received what I thought was a social email untile I came to the following signature:
This document, and any attachments, may contain confidential and proprietary information of Really Anal Inc (RA). Any unauthorized dissemination or copying is strictly prohibited. If you are not the intended recipient, please destroy or return this document without reading or copying it, and notify us immediately. RA will protect its intellectual property rights to the maximum extent possible under law.
I'm glad I was the intended recipient, 'cause the last time I got a sig like that when I wasn't supposed to, it sure screwed up my paper shredder when I ran my CRT through it.

I'm better prepared now. Flat panel display and big honking industrial shredder. Far better to do that than to risk prison for reading an email.

I'm still wondering how I'm supposed to avoid reading the email when the sig's all the way at the bottom. Perhaps I should just delete all the emails that come from these companies, just to be on the safe side.
