   Perhaps, my dislike for Delta has prejudiced my remarks. I could find   
   nothing on the Delta site indicating that any transaction of any value   
   may be done through POP3/IMAP. As I said, that would be really   
   stooopid. Every secure transaction that I have ever done goes through   
   a Web Site, and for good reason. There is no way that the average user   
   can be expected to fend off the phishers and spoofers. That is why you   
   don't use HTML for email from companies like Delta, Ebay, Bank of   
   America, PayPal, etc. Try this:   
      
      (http://survey.mailfrontier.com/survey/quiztest.html)   
      
   All it would take is one ill-advised click on a spoofed link, and   
   you're hosed. And that doesn't even take into consideration the MITM   
   and drive-by attacks. ISTM that Delta has enough problems without   
   trying to keep the phishing/spoofing creeps at bay.   
      
   Have you purchased e-tickets from Delta in the past? I would expect   
   that you would receive at most an activation code/password by email   
   (text or HTML), and then use that to download your e-ticket from   
   delta.com.
