Not quite, but getting close. Many years on most people don't care about
security -- they see it as someone else's problem.

I'm setting up a new bank facility and they want the documents (proof of
identity, ... everthing that you need for setting up a bank a/c) emailed
to them. I have asked them about encryption ... I don't expect to get
anything back than 'Duh ?'. They also sent a couple of MS Word documents
crawing with macros -- which OoO on Linux won't handle; I asked for something
in a 'standard' format & suggested ODF -- this will prob get the same reply.
