Encryption (again) and more

Title: Encryption (again) and more

(using Ent x)

Hi again everyone

A few weeks ago, you all gave me excellent guidance about encryption. Obviously, I can't ask my psychotherapy clients to all install encryption programs, so the solution will be to have them fill out the information form on a page I'll add to my website, then I can have encryption between my server and my computer.

I also agree with you that the "disclaimer" required at the end of these emails is a bunch of baloney (that's a euphemism). But I gotta do it.

Question for you: I need to give clients a lot of background information, notification of privacy rights, etc., etc. and I need to have a record that they received it (not necessarily read it, but at least received it). Previously, I would send it via email, along with the form they were to fill out. When they replied with the form, the reply included my email that had all that other info, so I had a record that they had received it. Voila!

Alas, I now won't be using email that way. Since I'm going to be asking the client to go to the website to fill out a form, I don't also want to require them to reply to my email. I was told that Outlook had a feature that would automatically inform the sender when the receiver opened an email. Does Entourage have such a feature? Or is there any way I could get this to happen. That would fulfill my requirement for proof of receipt.

I look forward to your wonderfully creative replies.

Richard
