Those sorts of notices infuriate me, at least as much as any email can (i.e., not very much). They're utterly useless, as there's no law backing them up. No, actually, they're worse than useless, as they bloat messages with explicit and implied insults against the recipient, who naturally did nothing to warrant such abuse by the sender.
As a result, I tend to react in a contrary manner when I see such notices. I may flame the sender in return. Or I may post the message in public, with or without sarcastic commentary. Those outcomes are especially likely if the message was misdirected to me in the first place.
It's better if people who send email I see don't include such worse than useless legalistic boilerplate… even though that happy state would deny me some cheap entertainment.
