I worked on a web site about 20 years ago where the form sent a PGP encrypted email. The credit card was then processed by hand. I'm guessing this isn't PCI compliant. ;)
In the 90's, we had something similar at another company. Except there, the email wasn't even encrypted. (Don't worry, the site used SSL.)
