> By reading this email, you agree

I'd assume that's unenforceable. You agree something by agreeing it, not just by reading the text of the agreement. How can you agree something you haven't yet finished reading?

100% agree - and that’s the whole point.

Anyone arguing that it is invalid and unenforceable is arguing to invalidate their own, equally unenforceable ‘private and confidential’ note at the bottom of their original emails.
