send one half of the number first and the half at late time.
Reply:The technical answer, there is no security in email. It's like sending a postcard through the U.S. Mail, anyone in the post office along the way *could* read it.





Now, why would they read it is the question. It's unlikely, but not enough to bank on (maybe they are reviewing sample mail for spam filters for example).





I wouldn't take the chance myself. Save yourself the worry and set up a quick phone call.
Reply:never ever trust e-mail! a typical message gets passed trough many, possibly a dozen of servers on the net and every server can, if it wishes, keep a copy of it.
