I think my bank is retarded. Seriously.
They used to send the monthly account statements (the list of transactions) via email, unencrypted. After I have bugged them over and over again, that sending financial details over a public channel in the cleartext is probably the stupidest thing a bank could ever do, they finally implemented sending the statements "encrypted". So now I get a passworded PDF file, that has an attachment (wtf? did you know PDFs could have attachments in them? I didn't) which is an HTML file containing the transaction list. Why do it simple, when you can jump through hoops? I suppose I should be glad that it isn't "one attachment file per transaction"
