They don't carry any legal weight at all because they're after the content of the message and forcibly trying to order a 3rd party into some sort of legally binding agreement after the fact (reading the contents of the message) would never hold up in a court.  An EULA would have a far better chance of holding up that the waste of badwidth that these words pose.  They're just someones feel good precaution.

It is common these days for email messages to contain a disclosure notice, which may include statements such as: 

* You must read the notice

* The views expressed in the accompanying email are not necessarily those of the company 

* The email and any attachments should be checked for viruses. 

 Do these notices carry any legal force?  Why or Why not?
