I'm not sure where you went wrong here.  I set up IC 4.8.1 and the 
foundation demo and it works right out of the gate, even before running the 
setup wizard in the UI.  What I get on the emailed order report is not 
'NEED ENCRYPTION ENABLED' but rather a partial card number and expiration 
date, like:

visa 41**1111 03/03

You might want to run makecat and setup a fresh test catalog, then place a 
test order and see what you get.

The whole issue of raw credit card numbers being stored on a web-accessible 
server has been debated numerous times on this list.  RH has positioned 
themselves firmly against it; others are more ambiguous.  It is easy enough 
to capture the raw credit card number and place it in another variable with 
a line in the order profile if you are determined to do it, but you are 
assuming a huge liability, in my opinion.

I hope this message does not start another monster thread like "Frustrated 
with IC 4.8" - please!  The list can only take so much. :0)
