You can "tag" people with email. Lots of people use this highly effective pattern:

Hi John --

Please remember that our corporate standard of email etiquette, as referenced in the employee handbook wiki [link], is to inline our responses while removing unrelated content. We've found that method to be very effective for the last thirty years.

Also note that the standard for internal signatures [link] is 2 lines:

NAME OR NICKNAME DEPARTMENT

and that the standard for external signatures is a maximum of four lines [link] with the following recommendation: NAME DEPARTMENT / COMPANY DEPARTMENT CONTACT URL

Finally, I don't know who told you to put all those images and disclaimers in, but Legal advises that you can't discuss confidential info in external emails, so you don't need disclaimers. You don't get privilege unless you work in Legal, either.

Yours,

dsr_ Security

Try working in a non IT company. Its IT itself who set up the mile long footer and people will have no idea or no authorization tot change it.

Anyone talking to Legal gets privilege. Not only Legal.

The first thing that Legal says is "You don't communicate privileged information by email. Call me."
