But the email is readable, it has a link to a message online. It is not a change to the standard, since it's in the body, where you can write whatever you like. In fact, it's not even unprecedented, because Cisco has been offering this exact same type of system for years generally for PHI and other sensitive uses.

My bank send me a "Secure Cisco Message". That I think was In response to a web message support request. They didn't tell me in what form to accept the response. It was a message with instructions to save the .html attachment to your hard drive and open it there. It included tons of obfuscated Javascript. Without opening the message I replied back and told them "Nope. We're not going to communicate this way, this is…

Please understand, I never said the Secure Cisco Message was actually good lol

Hehe, to be completely fair with you the first time I came across your name I thought you were pulling a very long prank. But you don't get to choose your name. An architect in the Netherlands had 'Rothuizen' as his last name, which translates to 'Rotten houses', not the best name for an architect so he changed it to 'Rotshuizen', which translates as 'Houses built like rocks'.

Do you suppose the original etymology of "Rothuizen" could have been an older Germanic name that might have been rendered as "Rodehuizen" in modern Dutch? (I'm thinking of modern German "rot" corresponding to modern Dutch "rood".) Wiktionary seems to believe in a Middle Dutch "*rōt (in placenames)" referring to the color red. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic...

Yes, that is very well possible. But that is not how an average Dutch person would read it.

Your reading makes excellent sense though, since a lot of the houses here are made of red brick.

Maybe he did not want to be limited in his choices of brick colors :)
