Excellent. This works! An email is returned to the address specified when the recipient reads the mail. Now, would you happen to know the "Delivery Request" field to add to the header?

But, I think you can archive what you want by doing the following things. Basically many of those similar functions provided by the internet protocol are used some optional header fields. For instance, if you are familiar with HTTP protocol, you should know "Set-cookie: " headers are used for delivery of additional information. In a mail message, we can add the following header field to indicate the a "return receipt" is required for the message. Disposition-Notification-To: yourname <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The read receipt mail would be sent to the address you set. In JavaMail, you can invoke addHeader(String, String) of the javax.mail.internet.MimeMessage instance to add the above header to your message. e.g. ... // create a message Message msg = new MimeMessage(session); // add header msg.addHeader("Disposition-Notification-To", "yourname <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "); ... (I didn't test the code above, hope it works) Happy Programming -Victor Cheung >From : Luc Foisy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> on 21/05/2002 12:27:14 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc: (bcc: Victor HT CHEUNG/HD/HKSARG) Subject: [jdjlist] JavaMail Could anyone tell me if JavaMail has some kind of support for mail tracking? As in, tagging the mail to send a reply when the message is sent, and when the message is read? I think its called "read reciept" or something. I can't find anything in the API or in a few tutorials about it. Can you do this, and how do you do it? ( any tutorial pointers would be good ) Luc Foisy To change your membership options, refer to: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm To change your membership options, refer to: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm To change your membership options, refer to: http://www.sys-con.com/java/list.cfm
