99 times out of 100 the sender of the email has no way of avoiding the disclaimer as it is tacked on by a mail server, usually the property of a company trying to protect its back. (Such as my company; as, for several months, its disclaimer contained a grammatical error despite repeated requests to reword it I tried to send as little email from there as possible!) That said, 'an individual with severe intellectual challenges operating from within an emotional void with no reality in view.' sounds like 'lawyer' to me ;) Alastair
