John,
You had to go there didn't you! You had to open up that can! I think its a
reasonable request however. I think a lot of people just don't think about
it when they are sending said sensitive information over the wire like that.
I don't want any mail server storing sensitive data on me either. However,
the fact of that matter is, ours (mail.msu.edu) is going to be storing some,
just as soon as I violate mailing list etiquette and post your sensitive
info many lines below [and you all scroll down to see if its really there or
not]:
