Re: READ RECEIPTS [WAS: $GLOBAL question]

Thanks, I'd forgotten about that setting which I just did... I'm sorry if everyone feels I've been too harsh, but I'm not saying I'm sorry for what I said. :-) -Michael Robert Cummings wrote:

This is pretty off topic -- but most clients also let you refuse to send receipts automatically -- which is how I deal with them. Cheers, Rob. On Mon, 2003-08-18 at 17:04, Dan Anderson wrote:

p.s. Is there not an option on your mail reader to automatically send read receipts? I mean, can't you have it by default send the receipt instead of requesting your intervention? If not, you might like to think about getting a better client. thanks!

You ever open a spam and 30 seconds later get a follow up spam? That's what happens from automatically sending read reciepts. Also, spammers love to use them as a tool to figure out who actually reads spam -- even if you just click on it for a second to press the DEL key. However, so many people request read reciepts that even though I wish they didn't exist I can't see complaining to a mailing list about them. -Dan
