Hi, thank you, Alain, et al, After reading Cliff's post and mutt's manual, I am not sure whether Disposition-Notification-To: will do what I want.
It's said it's dealt with by MTA. And reports success when the "transmission" succeeds. -- Does that mean the mail just succeessfully drops into the recipient's mbox instead of being opened for reading? What I want to get is the RECIPIENT's answering (eg. thru a dialog box), not of the system. The value of this mechanism is that the recipient is automatically prompted for a receipt, and I can get noticed as soon as possible when he/she is back or available - avoiding many calls in vain. many thanks, charlie On Tue, Jan 01, 2002 at 09:05:40PM +0100, Alain Bench wrote: > > Put this line in your muttrc to always request for receipt: > > my_hdr Disposition-Notification-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >
