Gene, I never see any Read Receipts from anyone, and that includes the members of the LUG. Whilst I would agree with you that the use of Read Receipts in the context of a mailing list is impolite, I would suggest that the Etiquette notes need to include the annoyance. At the same time, people that are annoyed can always set their mail readers up to both a) never request a read receipt, and b) never reply to a request for a read receipt. With Firefox this is very easy to do. And, not to let the original offender off lightly, even though you may 'need' to use Read Receipts for your business, the LUG is not a part of your business and should not be subjected to your peccadillo. It is just as easy for you to set your system up so that Read Receipts are not inflicted on the group. -- Regards, Mike Fry Johannesburg Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages after Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Archived messages from old mail server - before Nov. 21 2009: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
