The problem with that is banks sometimes ask what your last transaction was to prove you are the account holder. Anyone who has access to these email messages will know that information.

I've never seen this with any of the banks with which I've done business. They will tell me what the transactions were and ask me to confirm that they were indeed by me in the case that they're suspicious of fraudulent activity.
