I find your statement regarding S/MIME erroneous; however, we can just agree to disagree on that matter. Neither one of us will ever win the argument. My bank and credit card company, sends me a monthly link to a secure URL that affords me the opportunity to view my statements. I also have the option of downloading in PDF, CSV or MS Excel format my statement. I have never received a plain email statement detailing my banking records. Unless I am seriously misreading this thread, I am not sure what advantage either PGP or S/MIME would afford. -- Jerry ♔ Disclaimer: off-list followups get on-list replies or get ignored.
