Don't forget the part where they tell you that their "good faith" attempt to send the notice to your email address implies your constructive receipt.
On a vaguely related note, I was a bit confused by a recent notice from Wamu aka Chase bank. It said that they would be sending me check images (unless as they prefer they could send me nothing) which are apparently not Check21 legal substitute checks. It went on to say that I agree that these images will be sufficient to determine whether the checks are legitimate. Now of course they will be sufficient for _me_ to determine if they are legitimate since I will know whether I wrote the check in the first place. But I don't think that is what they mean. This seems to be an end-run around Check21's requirements (which were already very generous to the banks).
