My understanding is that the notification of trademark rights applies
only when a logo is used, not when the name itself is used. In other words,
the design and appearance is an integral part of the trademark. If this is
true (and hasn't changed since I was taught it), then putting TMs et al in
messages may conceivably do more harm than good, though that's not really
likely; on the other hand, I agree that it is an unnecessary distraction.
