But why the banks send you monthly statement using an envelope? Why
don't they just send you postcards that contain your monthly

Joe answered this. It's because they don't care about privacy but do
care about keeping it together.

If banks did care about privacy all bank statements would be sent
through registered mail.

It will fail. It will fail in large part because it fails by default with
web-based email (tested with Hotmail).

It works with Hotmail if you use the Standalone client. It is just the
Outlook Express plug-in that does not work, if you use Outlook Express
to access Hotmail.

What about Linux users? What about BSD users? MacOS?

Where is the source code?

Who has peer reviewed this?

Why are you not admitting that you are affiliated with the company?
