If they carry on treating the web and email as another marketing channel,
with HTML-heavy newsletters sent via SMTP through outsourced mass-mailing companies, it's a lost cause. It doesn't matter what the banks do, it matters what the phishers do. Even if the bank only sends faxes to their customers, some customers are going to fall for a professional-looking e-mail. I do think that IE7 will have a big impact on the problem because it should vastly decrease the amount of time it takes before a phishing site is identified as such. In the large majority of cases "phishy" behavior can be identified at the client by the browser or e-mail client.
