I don't know. But it carries more legal heft, I guess.

The question was why they required it. And the answer is because
they are in the US.

I'd be interested in an authoritative document that says that e-mail is
as good as a fax in UK. I'd wave under the snouts of cardigan wearing

I tried sending a 'on-line' bank a signed and encrypted e-mail once.
They told me they would not open it because it was spam.
