Stan,
I too have a FNBA account and received that email. I'm not sure how it
will work with the on-line statement, but I wasn't able to use the site
otherwise without IE. As near as I can tell, they are making use of SSL
under IE which as we here all know, has security issues.

Apparently Conquerer had the same problem, the difference is that KDE
had it fixed in about 1 1/2 hrs, MS is still pointing fingers as too
whose problem it is.
I think the time to start complaining is NOW.
