How do I verify a message arrived privately?

GoodCrypto adds a tag with a unique validation code at the bottom of each message it decrypts.

It would be easy for someone else to fake a message so it appears that the message arrived privately when it didn't. Only the recipient of the message can verify that it was received privately.

If your administrator entered the URL for your GoodCrypto private server in the GoodCrypto private server options, then a URL is included at the bottom of the message which lets you confirm the message was received privately by your GoodCrypto private server. You must sign in with the email address of the recipient of the message to verify the status.

If you only see the unique validation code, then connect to your Goodcrypto Server website, sign in with the credentials for the user that received the message, click the Mail menu and then the Verify button next to Private messages, and enter the validation code.

If you do not know the validation code, then click the Received button next to Private messages. You'll see a list of all messages that you received securely. The list shows the sender's email address, date, message id, and validation code.
