I see you are using Thunderbird. Are you aware that you can reject
Return Receipts selectively with T-bird by setting up the account

Sure, but I was making the point because sending a message to a MAILING
LIST with a read receipt has the potential of causing lots of people to
account for and deal with someone else's laziness. If it was only one
poster, it might be less of a problem. But I think there are at least
three different members here who send mail with read receipts.
It's just dumb. And it irritates me. And I just wanted to bitch. ;)
I recognize that this argument may be about as fruitful as trying to
convince an entire list or group of people not to use HTML mail...
Personally, I have them disabled completely. If someone wants to know
if I read their email, they can request a reply. If they are too
cowardly to ask, they deserve what they (don't) get.
I agree with you. And I go back and forth. I often leave them disabled
completely, but do sometimes turn them on. I have used them myself
before - especially if sending to someone who has reported connection
problems/receiving my mail (and I don't necessarily want to wait for
them to reply with a confirmation).
