Headers aren't likely to be acceptable. The requirement appears to be 
for the text to be prominently displayed. It's not just for "official" 
documents, as far as I can tell. I can't see anything that exempts 
unofficial communications.

This is something that really does need a real legal opinion, it's 
pretty pointless discussing it here. I expect that NCC or Business Link 
will have some real advice available soon.
