Sending Encrypted Emails (FYEO)
This article is accessible to everyone.
This article explains how to send encrypted emails from the ACES email system.
The method to send a secure email is to include the acronym “FYEO” in the subject. It stands for “For Your Eyes Only”
The “FYEO” acronym is a signal to the Microsoft office system to encrypt the email for secure delivery.
When the recipient receives the email, they won’t see the message right away. They’ll see a message as shown in the example below.
The recipient can see the message by going to the attachments and clicking on the “Message” attachment.
When the recipient clicks the message.html attachment, they can choose to open the attachment and receive the following screen.
If the user has a valid Microsoft account, they can sign in to see the attachment.
If they don’t have an account, or just don’t wish to use it to open this email, the recipient can click the “Use One Time Passcode” option to receive a special code to open the email.
If the recipient chooses the one time passcode option, the system will take several minutes and send the user a second email with a special code.
The recipient should enter the code in the field and click “Continue” to read the message.
