Three more points:
1. False positives. Think what happens when an official
announcement ends up with having a disclaimer.
2. Perl scripts which don't represent the views of the company
(or compile) are funny enough too. And what happens when the
message contains no text parts at all?
3. False negatives. When the disclaimer adding fails for some
reason, people who receive the message will think "Hmm, this
message is probably official".
