Title: Message
You're right, of course, but nobody in his right mind puts those nonsensical disclaimers on unless the company's lawyers tell him he has to. So there's no point in berating the sender; his embarrassment at having to send something so patently silly probably exceeds your annoyance at having to receive it.

A word to the wise: no message footer can prevent "dissemination, distribution, copying, or disclosure" when you post to a public list like this one. In fact, such footers are probably toothless in any situation and serve only to annoy. It's your responsibility how and to whom you transmit information, and recipients tend to dislike attempts to shift your responsibility to them. If New York Life appends this notice to all your messages, you might tell them how it's being received.
 
In your line of work, confidentiality is important, and I would advise using secure means when transmitting anything sensitive. Messages sent over the internet pass through a lot of network infrastructure and could be intercepted at many points along the way, even if you send them to exactly and only the correct recipient(s). It's up to you to protect them. Weak but simple security is available by password-protecting zip files; public-key cryptography provides more security, but is harder to set up. If you wanted my business, you'd have to do the latter.
 
Now that's off my chest: your message had a couple of log files (one empty) attached, but I didn't see any unregistered message. Did you intend to attach a screen shot? What's the full text of the message? Are you running Outlook or Outlook Express?
