Feroze? Can I ask just one little thing? Not about your email contents, I think they are fine. However, I do get the ever annoying 'sender wants a read reciept' when you send the emails. Would it be too much to ask you to turn that off? I haven't seen an comments from other members, so I don't know if I'm the only one. I used to once upon a time use that feature, and I found out that it just pissed off people.
