Easiest, yes, but probably not most preferable.  One has to remember that the
InterNet is a public network, and the possibility quite exists for messages
routing through the network to be trapped by someone.  If I had a credit card
(which I don't), I'd be MOST hesitant to send out its number/exp. date to a net
where any smart hacker could get at it.

Just a thought.
