Thanks Stone.
I think though that you don't understand about those confidentiality warnings.
It isn't up to the recipient to determine what is and isn't confidential, if the email says it is confidential.
It is different if the warning says that the email may be confidential.
Unless it's internal communications or you have signed a non-disclosure clause they can't enforce any confidentiality on messages such as that. As soon as they press send it's public domain.

Just give me at least ONE E-6 film, just one type of Ektachrome like E200 or something! I'm not going to get into asking for KR64 back but Ektachrome 200 would be a nice surprise....Also at least one Tungsten balanced film...Maybe a new and improved version of Portra 100T that could be faster so maybe a Portra 500T? I think it would fit in the line nicely.
It is true that you probably cannot enforce a tacked on confidentiality clause except in certain limited circumstances, but it is also true that is really bad form to ignore the request contained in it - unless you want to alienate the person who sent it.
And if there hadn't already been a request for E6 and a response, I would have added that too.
They aren't going to say anything in an email to you that's not already cleared for public dissemination, since, in that context, you are john q. public.
The paragraph probably gets added automatically by their email server and it's not something the sender even has any control over.
When I was practicing, every email I sent included a phrase that indicated that the contents may be confidential and protected by a claim for solicitor-client privilege.
That clause was there in order to:
1) help support a claim of solicitor-client privilege, even if the information went to the wrong person by mistake; and
2) help support a demand to a third party to keep information confidential.
The clause is there so that if the confidentiality of the email is unclear, it will be presumed to be confidential - it leaves it up to the recipient to enquire about sharing.
If you have that at the end of your email, it is sloppy to send out something that is intended to be public without saying so.
And as to Kodak sending something to you that is not intended to be shared with the public, I would expect that they would treat the email as private, unless you invited them to share it.
