hmmm - seems that if the sender (the insurance company, the utility, the charge card company, etc.) would encrypt, and the client/recipient had the key, then the security problem would disappear.

I sent our signed tax return back to our accountant after encrypting it. He knew the password already.

I do the same thing.

That is what the whole PGP (pretty good privacy) model was about - the sender would encrypt the message and it would look like gibberish going across the wire, and then the recepient would have the key to decrypt on the other end. It required having all the right software installed and configured - most institutions seem to have decided that it is easier to simply have their clients/customers connect to their HTTPS encrypted site because that just means having a web browser that can handle the HTTPS encryption layers (which pretty much all current ones do) and not need any additional software/configuration.
