This email from Citibank is a security threat. It is sent without
encryption. It is just a matter of time until Citi's account holders'
names and ATM's last-4-numbers are harvested in ISPs and email
routers, with the added "benefit" that phishers now know who
the account holders really are. Another example of what should
not be done.

Cheers,
Ed Gerck
