Quoting ANANT S ATHAVALE <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:
Whenever I get a message with a read-request, I am prompted for sending disposition notification.
Sounds great!
So, the disposition notification is sent only if I wish.
Yes, indeed!
Is there any specific reason why I am prompted? Can
Because the option is set that way for you. And, in more general terms, since many people feel that read receipts and such are an invasion of privacy, and shouldn't be done automatically without their consent. And because it stops, say a spam/malware writer from getting confirmations that your email is valid.
it be not sent automatically when a mail is opened.
I think so. In IMP, select options, then Message Viewing, and at the bottom uncheck the option for "Prompt to send read receipt when requested by the sender?" See iu that does what you want.
Is there a configuration to achieve it?
Yes, so to speak (it is a user preference, not a configuration item per se, though you can/do configure preferences also, so it is really about definitions). -- Eric Rostetter The Department of Physics The University of Texas at Austin This message is provided "AS IS" without warranty of any kind, either expressed or implied.
