I'm no expert on this but I was told that mixing encrypted and not encrypted could make it easier for it to be hacked. If you are sure it is not, then go ahead and send mixed ones. If you right, no problem. If you wrong, well, you the one that gets hacked. I hope it's not info you don't want known to others. Dale :-) :-)
