My company has been doing this at least as far back as 2004 (http://www.ethereal.com/lists/ethereal-dev/200407/msg00427.html). At the time, I even contacted our IT group to ask that the disclaimers be removed from outgoing e-mails, particularly when they are being sent to open-source mailing lists such as this one. But as you can tell by the annoying disclaimer that will inevitably be appended to this e-mail, I was unsuccessful. As stupid as they are, these disclaimers are not likely to go away IMO.
Piece of advice from http://www.cygwin.com/ml/#disclaimer-bounce might help.

This email and any files transmitted with it are full of nonsense.
If you read it, you owe me the contents of your wallet.
