All the best Mark -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Russ Michaels (Snake) Sent: 20 December 2004 12:27 To: 'Coldfusion Development' Subject: RE: [CF-Dev] Tracking text emails >- see footer for list info -< No, as Tim says, they can also be disabled. Also a read receipt is not automatic, it can be declined. Personally I would make the emails HTML, so that thos ethat wish to read them will need to read them as HTML with images enabled. The only people you will lose out on are those that do not want to read the thing anyway and probably would have spam filtered it anyway. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mark Smyth > Sent: 20 December 2004 12:20 > To: 'Coldfusion Development' > Subject: RE: [CF-Dev] Tracking text emails > > >- see footer for list info -< > Cheers Russ > > That's about what I thought > > Regarding the headers mentioned below, are they guaranteed to work > every time? > > Thanks > Mark > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Russ Michaels > (Snake) > Sent: 20 December 2004 12:07 > To: 'Coldfusion Development' > Subject: RE: [CF-Dev] Tracking text emails > > >- see footer for list info -< > Yep that's about it really.
