The debate is not about return receipts being a waste of bandwidth, proper business practice, or anything other than it is a violation of the published Forum Etiquette to request a receipt to this list. Period.
You can read the rules at http://support.ipswitch.com/kb/IM-20020802-DM01.htm Rule #5 says: "Turn off Return Receipt Requests in your mail client." RMilner refuses to follow the published rules and chastises those who are thoughtful enough to ask him nicely to follow the rules. If you personally don't like return receipts don't use them. Nobody here is telling you to use them. That is not the debate. The debate is about what to do with a person that refuses to follow the published rules. -Joe ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rick Klinge" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, May 19, 2004 9:29 AM Subject: RE: [HOLD weight][IMail Forum] Request to IPSwitch to please remove RMilner from the IMail list > Why don't we all read his message and say "yes" when asked to > send a return receipt?

Critical business correspondence should never rely or depend upon return read receipts. To me it's just plain ignorant and waste bandwidth, cpu cycles, etc. Definitely, IMHO, a worthless addition to the RFC's. ~Rick ___________________________________________________________________ Virus Scanned and Filtered by http://www.FamHost.com E-Mail System.
