Hi Jim, How do you avoid responding with a web page? Can you give a simple example for me to start with?
For example, the first time they click the Confirm button in an email, we might still open a web page to give them some feedback. Then, they can decide they don't want the extra feedback of the web page, and can wait for the "receipt" email. From then on, we would like to prevent the web page from opening when they click the Confirm button in the email.
