That's quite reassuring, HarryT, thank you very much (I mean the bit about the software handling the password securely is reassuring, not the bit about e-mail. I guess if we wanted real security we'd have to go back to the olden days of hand-delivered letters -- perhaps pigeon post wasn't such a bad idea after all...).
