Hi Geoff

Good to hear from you again. Hope you are doing ok.

https is the secure version of the hypertext transfer protocol otherwise
known as the web. This is used to encrypt data in a web browser from any
snooping. Https is used more and more nowadays to secure and make the web
authoritative ie if a web site uses Https then the certificate ensures
everyone correctly understands who the site is really owned and operated by.

But you cannot have a https email address  - this doesn't exist. There may
be an email address or contact details on the websites.

Perhaps the websites you mention have a secure webform to contact the
gentleman with perhaps ?

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
Julian Robbins

Greetings from Malvern.

I wish to send some info to a guy who has many interests each with
its own "https" address. presumably on the web.
He seems to have no ordinary email address.

Please what is "https" intended for, and how do I mail this gentleman
using an ordinary email format ?

Best regards.
