I truly believe there is no misunderstanding the intent of the law in the UK 
that went into effect in January of this year.  Especially since specific 
examples have always referred to the notice as a footer.  My only advice 
would be that most UK businesses must review carefully to see whether they 
need to put their registration code, address, choice of double or single-ply 
toilet paper, blood-type, etc. into the email body NOT the header.

However, making things more fun is that the UK rules are supposed to be 
implementing the EU First Company Law Amendment Directive effective Dec 31, 
2006.  So the question now opens up to, "Does this really apply to every 
business in every member-country of the EU?".  Anyone know?
