Hi All,

This is in reference to the form mailer code from this site - [http://www.kirupa.com/web/form\_mailer.htm](http://www.kirupa.com/web/form_mailer.htm)

I was wondering how secure this kind of transfer is. For instance, would it be safe to transfer a social security number on it to an email?

And if not, any suggestions?

Thanks!!
