@thomasfuchs Lawyer here. That’s a pretty standard header, actually. The only oddity was “Federal Express” instead of “FedEx.”
At least in my line of work, we have contracts with most of the other companies we interact with that include “Notice” provisions requiring that messages be sent a certain way, e.g. “via email to xyz@domain.com with a copy to So-and-So via trackable carrier.” Including that header on the letter nerfs any argument that that the notice was not properly sent/received.

@thomasfuchs Absolutely, and agree that it's funny. But that language — like a lot of things we lawyers say in letters like that one — is not intended for the recipient; it's performative and intended for a judge (or mediator, arbitrator, or similar) who is probably much older than you and me, and who actually responds well to that kind of language. And who possibly still gets their emails printed for them by an assistant every day.

@thomasfuchs FX/FDX is their IATA airline code (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_airline_codes_(F)), so that's likely why they're using it so heavily

@thomasfuchs surprised it wasn’t via Twitter DM to Zuck’s recently revived Twitter account and peppered with poo emoji. Or just in Musk’s timeline, upon further thought. I suppose the latter would have to change the header to “In the Nazi Bar and via Electronic Mail and Federal Express”. I wonder when they got rid of “Fax” and their “DX” address. Went down the latter’s rabbit hole and maybe it wasn’t in the US? Was like a private document delivery system used in legal and govt circles (mostly).
