I have a question

Is there a service anyone knows about which will print your email and send it with tracking of receipt or signature, so you can prove what was physically sent?

Or you mail it to them and they open your mail, scan it and forward it on with signature required, with your address as the return address?

Because righy now you can only prove that the ENVELOPE was received, not what was in it.

Notes app does it perfectly now after iOS 11.1 and High Sierra.

An example is this screenshot from my notes https://imgur.com/a/xuZqW

Right now you can enter comments for a document that's already uploaded. A few UI tweaks could be added to show the latest comment under the document preview.

Exporting to PDF sounds like a really good idea.
