How about web sites which have secure (https) web pages, but then email back to you your order confirmation INCLUDING YOUR ENTIRE CREDIT CARD NUMBER in plain text. (heck, usually in all upper case too! ;-) The problem is there is no standard (other than common sense) for what happens to your information AFTER the information is retreived from the web page. There is no guarentee that the company will handle it responsibly. I bet many vendor web sites don't bother even encrypting your CC info in their databases... -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- What the president of the Motion Picture Association of America says about taking away your constitutional rights: "I'm rather jubilant now.
