If I receive such a mail, then as far as I am concerned I *am* the
intended recipient, and anyway my own policy overrules any policy that
there might be stated in the mail. But as you say, there's no point
in arguing over this piece of sillyness by your lawyers.

So read the archive of the mailing list where this has been discussed
to death already, with several recipes for achieving basically what
they say they want, but forget any idea of trying to impose a font and
size - even if you send HTML, then anyone with any sense of email
security is going to read plain text, and ignore anything called out
from the HTML.

Yes, a policy at your of requiring a .signature file from all senders
is certainly one way of dealing with the situation, and seems to be
the only viable way of sending properly-signed mail without it getting
corrupted by your mailer on its way out. But if that's not a concern
to those legal idiots, then there *are* other ways, implemented under
the scope of exim, and I'm sure they'll be in the archives.
