How hard can it be to authenticate the user on the web interface, then store the message internally and respond on the website (send an email saying there is a response, but without content) - like banks do?
Yes, I had this issue recently, and I decided not to respond to BA's email. No way am I going to send that kind of personal information via regular email.

I don't see why BA can't do what my bank does with secure messaging (oh wait, I'd forgotten about BA's incompetent management and its foreign outsourced IT provider).
