Hi all,

sorry to you all that you've been bothered by the "Read Receipt" mails.

A lot of you have emailed me. Of course I noticed the problem, and of course  
I didn't do it intentionally - *sigh*. It's just that at this time I couldn't  
do anything against it.

Just to explain what happened to those of you who don't know NEXTSTEP: by  
default, the NEXTSTEP mail application sends such a Read Receipt when it  
receives a mail from another NEXTSTEP mail application. The *sender* of a mail  
can turn off this feature, and this is what I, being in a stress situation,  
simply forgot when I wrote a mail to the list.

Every *reader* of such a mail who uses NEXTSTEP has *no* way (well, no way  
without hacking the system) to prevent the Read Receipt from being sent back  
to the list. So, since some people on this list use NEXTSTEP (and certainly I  
do, and I received my mail, too, of course), it was inevitable these Read  
Receipts were produced once I sent said mail.

                Bye
                        Uli
