Adding a disclaimer to outgoing iNotes® messages

You can add a disclaimer to outgoing IBM® iNotes® messages. A disclaimer is a denial or a disavowal of legal responsibility for the contents of the message. In some countries, not having a proper disclaimer on messages may result in fines leveled by regulatory agencies.
