Re: st: Silly addenda

Moreover, it may be worth noting that a great many corporate e-mail  
systems insert similar boilerplate into a message only after the user  
has composed and "sent" it, and only if it is going to an external e- 
mail address.  Furthermore, in most of those cases (such as my  
employer, which is not the address I use for Statalist), there is *no  
way* for the user to disable this "feature".  Alas.
