| I just looked at three older, unread, posts to this list that wanted | to have me send the Return Receipt that was "requested". I have | my system setup to ask. I get these Arab language emails outside | this list that want me to let them know I read their emails - SO they | can know that my email address was valid or I got it and not auto-deleted | by security software. | I really do not know why people ask for a return receipt that they request | from people reading - just reading - their posts to a list like this one. | How many people are signed up to get copies of these posts? | If only a few percent do agree to send such a return receipt, how many | email address would be returned to these people - for just reading, not | commenting on these posts? | I personally feel like such a request is just another form of data | mining, and/or | email collection, for those who are signed up for the forwarding of | these threads/posts | to their in-boxes to read. If you comment, then your address "may" be | seen by the | readers. I do not want someone to know that I read an individual | thread/post | and do not want to give people my email address saying I read their post. | I did not even know that Return Receipt Requests were allowed or not | stripped | of these posts when sent out to the readers of this list. | Did I not remember correctly? Did I not get the change in policy about | placing | these requests? I thought this list did strip any such request off | before we got them. | Well, this is my opinion about having three posts in a row ask for | return receipts. | I never send them unless I positively know the person [and know email | address] on the | other end. | Am I correct to question them? | Am I wrong about them? | I have said what I think about them, but I could be wrong.
