plain text email of grades

["Plesco, Todd" <tplesco () CHAPMAN EDU>]

Here is a FERPA question which has sprung up as the result of a function
in Blackboard:
Has anyone performed a risk analysis of grades being sent plain-text to
students'/guardians off campus email?  How do you ensure non-institution
email accounts are still valid?  Do you accept that risk or only allow
internal emailing of PII?
Thoughts? Opinions?
