I'd recommend it if you're a mug who likes paying out for superfluous
software.

If you actually look at the statistics the "risk" of having your
credit card details stolen over the net are much less than having them
stolen by giving your number over the phone or even handing your card
to the waiter in a restaurant. Over 50% of all credit card fraud is
from lost or stolen cards (source: Nat West's Streamline credit card
service)

These "risks" of having someone sniff it out of your e-mail are being
talked up by companies who, by an incredible co-incidence, want to
sell you secure credit card systems!

If you're really paranoid about it, send half the card number in one
mail and half in another, thus reducing the chances of it being
intercepted to as near to zero as makes no difference.

I've been doing this on my site for a couple of years now without any
problems and that's with taking orders from all over the world.

(Oh, and, yes, I've had people e-mail me expressing doubts, but as
soon as they've had it explained to them 99% are quite happy to split
the number in two mails and the other 1% send the card details or
international money orders to my PO Box)

Cheers,
Graham.
