Paying bills online

If you pay bills online, do you keep the email receipts?  I never kept paper receipts, and don't save the emails either.  I figure I can always show the withdrawal through my bank account if there were ever a dispute.

What do you do?  Am I missing anything important in my thinking about this topic?  Any info/thoughts is great.

  • I've been paying bills online for about 8 years.  I've never once had a dispute.  We keep everything filed on our computer.  I set up a list of bills for the month and the due date.  When I pay it, I write down the confirmation number
