Have to say that I agree that emails are not secure. In my opinion and practice I feel that reports, or any specific information should only be sent with a system that includes an encryption suite. In saying that its not to difficult to open someone elses post if you're of a mind to do. If I'm reading it correctly the question is about reports without signatures on them? You could ask your IT people about digital signatures? It is even common place in business to have a small jpeg or simmilar to place into documents for sendiong electronically Regards Craig ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robert Dunn" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Tuesday, April 27, 2004 4:32 PM Subject: Re: Email Reports > Just a comment!
