The thing I do not like about them is that they put a blanket claim
that the content of the mail is confidential etc, even when it is
blatantly obvious that it is not. Claims of confidentially etc should
be restricted to those emails which are actually confidential. Putting
it on all emails is rather like a government marking all documents as
'Top Secret' irrespective of their content.
