If I e-mail a card number, I spell some of it out and put digits for some.  I
guess for Germany you might need to use the german words for the digits you
spell.  I can't believe anyone reads individual mails - I assume the hacking
computer looks for the typical sequence in digits.

It's still only as safe as the people who handle the transaction anyway!
