No, at least for me, there is too much mail that is regarded as important, and it would be a waste of time. For some of important mail, the recipient would normally reply (by mail), but one may also forget to check. > Nobody today _expects_ that every e-mail will get delivered at all > (or that anyone would notified on failure to deliver), much less that > it would happen in reasonable time. Which is a shame. Not also that mail may get delivered but fall in some spam folder or get forgotten when one receives too much mail. > DSN's were an elegant solution... for a more civilized age. Perhaps DSN should be changed to a read notification sent by the MUA, and requiring the user's confirmation (a bit like a reply by mail, but lighter and in a standard form). -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <https://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <https://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Pascaline project (LIP, ENS-Lyon)
