Claim:
1. A method for accessing e-mail messages comprising: automatically verifying, by a processor, as a recipient of an e-mail message is specified by a sender of the e-mail message while the e-mail message is drafted by the sender, that the recipient of the e-mail message is enrolled in a biometric authentication system; generating modified e-mail messages from the e-mail message with the processor and transmitting a respective modified e-mail message to each verified recipient; comparing, by the processor, a transaction identifier extracted from a hyperlink included in a modified e-mail message against transaction identifiers included in a transaction registry; determining, by the processor, that e-mail message contents can be transmitted to a recipient device, and mapping the extracted identifier to an e-mail identifier and a recipient identifier, when the extracted identifier matches a transaction identifier; and permitting, by the processor, the recipient to view the e-mail message contents after the recipient is successfully authenticated.
