RE: cc number through e-mail

I can do without the sarcastic comments. If you really want to comment
then please send some comments which are usefull.

I already acknowledged that this is not the ideal situation, but we have
been working like this for more than 5 years, and have never had any
problems. Still, I agree it is a potential risk, but at least we don't
keep the cc numbers and other relevant information on the server. It's
not ideal, but I tend to call it a second best solution.

But then again, in the end we aren't all as good as you are (I almost
die in humor).

Should we report you to the Better Business Bureau now, or after the
credit 
cards have been fraudulently used?

BTW, I have a *totally* unrelated question.  What was the ip address of 
your mail server?

(I jest in humor).

Seriously, if your ISP has Interchange installed, might it be possible
to 
find a way to install some sort of encryption program?  Some sort of
perl 
module that does GPG type stuff?  (Anyone?)
