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.

you can just ask your recipeint to send you some uuid on the letter after they receive it. i have no idea what problem you are trying to solve though.
i once heard of a case were the employer send an unrelated document to an employee.

later on, the payment stopped and the employer claimed that they fired him at that time.

I don't recall how that case ultimately turned out, but maybe something like that? would be incredibly rare though and of dubious worth for mostly anyone

I believe there are courier services that help guarantee document delivery to the correct person, i.e. for sending/serving court summons.
there are lots of virtual mailbox service offerings out there, to open and scan mail for you. what you describe is right up their alley.
