Can PivotMail's meta-data be used as evidence in the American court system?

I understand that PivotMail protects email from prying eyes, but is their any additional metadata associated with each email that might certify or make official certain types of messages? I'm thinking in the context of the justice system in the US....

Could, for example, I use a pivotMail receipt (or message header) to prove that someone received an email at a particular time or location? Conversely, could I use encryption keys to prove that digital evidence was tampered with or altered?

Does 'PivotMail evidence' this carry any more weight (because its certified and secured by an external company) than say using gmail or yahoo mail?

Could be an interesting use of the technology....
