No... You didnt read my email carefully. What you described was a read
receipt. These are common to most mail clients, and your right! They
are a real pain when used for anything except important emails. I am
talking about a DELIVERY receipts. They are not returned by the user
but by the mail server. I know Microsoft Outlook has them when you use
Exchange server. I find them very valuable. I was wondering if any
clients or client/servers have this feature?
