| Receiving a Registered E-mail®
message |
| |
To create accountability in the e-mail transmission,
the sender must have verifiable proof and the receiver
must be aware that the sender has such proof. For
each Registered E-mail® message , the sender
can opt to make the receiver aware that that particular
e-mail has been sent "Registered". The
RPost™ system adds the trademark "(R)egistered:™
" in the subject line and places a Registered
E-mail® banner within the e-mail. The receiver
of a Registered E-mail® message is aware that
the message has been sent Registered and the sender
has proof of the transmission.
The receiver does not need to do anything differently
- simply open the e-mail as they would normally
do for any e-mail. All attachments are included,
as if it were a regular e-mail. The receiver is
not required to click-through or download anything.
This shows the commercial look for the U.S. market.
When the receiver opens the e-mail, a graphic banner
or the words "***Registered E-mail***"
(if the receiver does not have HTML or is off-line)
appear at the top of the e-mail. All attachments
are included in the e-mail, as originally sent. |

Common Questions:
What happens if the user reads e-mail in
plain text?
If the banner can be viewed, it will be present
as shown. If the receiver cannot view the banner
due to their e-mail settings, the words "***Registered
E-mail***" would be at the top of the e-mail.
Does the recipient need any special software
other than an e-mail program?
No. The recipient only needs a valid e-mail address.
Can anyone, besides the intended recipient,
read my e-mail?
The Registered E-mail® system meets the requirements
of the Privacy Act of the United States. No non-related
party or individual is authorized to read your e-mail,
including the United States Federal Government.
Any tampering or interception of a Registered E-mail®
message would be a criminal offense. RPost uses
encryption technology for authentication purposes,
not to place the e-mail into private code. The system
is compatible with standard desktop privacy encryption
programs and document encryption techniques.
Can you send a Registered E-mail® message
after 5pm?
Yes. You can use Registered E-mail® service
twenty-four hours a day, seven days per week, anywhere
in the world.
Can the Registered E-mail® service
be used for encrypted messages?
Yes. The RPost system can complement most standard
PKI encryption set-ups. RPost leverages whatever
standard encryption certificates the sender is using
to allow "Registered AND Encrypted" e-mail.
Further, the sender may password encrypt a document
file and attach it to any Registered E-mail®
message. |
