The old idea that E-Mail should be treated like a postcard still applies in the main. E-Mail is, by default, transported across the internet unencrypted and may get stored, in clear, on several servers during its journey. You may have an encrypted connection when you collect your E-Mail from your ISP (or gmail, or wherever) but that's just one hop of many and there is absolutely no guarantee that any of the other hops are also encrypted. Treat it like a postcard, unless you actually encrypt the message itself. -- Chris Green _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
