Ask yourself this: What happens to the "important" message just deleted by the user in frustration of dealing with 300 spams per day? Or the "important" message lost by a still too flaky smtp network. My take on this is: Who would send anything "important" by email without a follow-up or confirmation of some kind? If it was important then one should send a follow up or request a return receipt. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
