Nobody gives me flack because I don't allow return receipts. Since I can
use whatever mail client I wish (I am a free agent) anyone who wants to
know if I got their mail can call my pager (long distance charges will
be included in billing). If I care, I will call back. Receipts do not
work at all except in purely captive mail systems. If you try a receipt
on me at the account I have at my client's plant, it will fail. DSN
might work but MDN and that ilk will fail. I don't use the company
specified mail client and they can't do a thing about it because I am
not an employee. The fact that no one has said anything indicates to me
that nobody cares any more than I do. I have noticed that receipts are a
management control tool and people who actually work have no use for
them. In 20 years of using email in business, I have never seen any
point to receipts.
