Hi Derek,
I was watching a TV program only this weekend where they demonstrated
how easily one could be caught with things like "Key loggers". These
can arrive in what appears to be an innocent e-mail message and send
every keystroke to press to some wallie on a beech in Argentina via a
circuitous internet route which is hard to trace.
Also, for a hacker, intercepting e-mail is often child's play/
The program also surveyed users who were using wireless hotspots here
in the U.K. and found an alarming number of people who had absolutely
no anti-virus protection at all.
George.

Hi All
I am aware that it's not a good idea to put credit card details in
an
email.
But what's the actual reason.
I mean surely the chances of an email correctly addressed, Going to
the wrong address, is less likely compared to postal mail
Being delivered to wrong address!
Regards, Derek
