How to say formally if something is “OK”

I want to say a sentence like:

I don’t know if you read my message or if it is OK to reply this message, but …

What are alternative for “if it is OK” to mean almost the same?

Answer

Several words could be substituted for OK, but it would depend on what you wish to convey. For example:

Permitted: Having permission to do so

Allowed: Permitted by the recipients policy regarding replies

Proper: Appropriate given the content of the reply

Possible: Indication of a potential Do Not Reply status

On the other hand, one can still use OK more formally by spelling it out (i.e., Okay) instead of using the informal abbreviation.
