Sometimes it's really frightening how people deal with basic IT. Maybe the gene pool needs cleansing?

I hate to confess this, but I
also tell my clients to NEVER send me passwords, login details, etc., in email, and if they MUST, to attach it in an email. It's
not secure. Is it "better" to send it in an attachment? Not really, but at least I keep them from blasting it all across the globe in the body of the email. {shrug}.
I mean, otherwise, you end up inveigling all these scenarios, and with clients like mine--it's either call them on the phone (NOOOOOOOO!), or come up with some other thing. I can't say that I blame the attorney. I mean...my clients can't download from browsers, typically. They can't find their download folders, and most of them don't even know that they HAVE download folders. Hell, given that, how would you handle it? (Seriously.)
