A return receipt request is part of an e-mail. Removing the request means you have to change the content of the e-mail. IANAL but I assume that this could be problematic from a legal POV. Besides that I doubt that our mailing list software is technically able to do it, it fails to do even more important things properly. ;-) OTOH dealing with return receipt requests can be done in two ways: If everybody on the list sent a receipt to each requester I'm sure these clueless people (yes, people sending a return receipt request to a mailing list *are* clueless!) would surely try to switch if off ASAP. OK, this needs some organisation but it would be fun. :-) Another (less funny but more polite) way to deal with return receipt requests is to configure your mail client to ignore them so that they won't bother you anymore. I see return receipt requests as a violation of my privacy and so I always ignore them. In TBird you can do that in "Tools-Options-Advanced-Return Receipts", you also have to make sure that you have enabled this global setting for all accounts in the account settings (in case you already did some changes for one of them individually). <disclaimer> By calling a certain behavior clueless it don't intend to offense anybody - we all need some learning at times. But I don't have a better word for people working with e-mails without knowing how to do it properly. Maybe because I'm a "little bit clueless" about the english language. :-) </disclaimer> Best regards, Mathias -- Mathias Bauer - OpenOffice.org Application Framework Project Lead Please reply to the list only, [EMAIL PROTECTED] is a spam sink. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
