Re: Receipt Requests in Mail
Take a look at the full headers for one of the messages that requested a return receipt. There should be a header something like "return-reciept-requested:somewh...@watchmyeverymove.com" So, you should be able to use this for your rules. I don't know if you will be able to extract the address from that field using just rules, but you could set up a applescript to do this and then link tha tto your rules.

Re: Receipt Requests in Mail
This is a great idea. No, the computers in the office are not connected to an Exchange server, so writing a special rule that would only apply to certain individuals' e-mail addresses would have to be the approach, I guess. They wouldn't know when I actually read their note, but they would at least know that I received it and this might give them the assurance they need ... Best regards and thanks, Mike P.S. Has anyone in your office written such a rule and would they be willing to share it?

I asked him if there is a read receipt in mac mail, he advised me that no there isn't however there is no reason why you couldn't setup a rule to send out an auto response when the email is received within your system. This can however be a problem if you send a receipt to an out of office alert, which tthen sends back the same out of office alert, and so on and so on. So your rule would have to be very carefully written. However, if you use a mac connected to a Microsoft exchange server for email / calendaring etc. you could set the exchange server / your email account up to send out receits for any mail received into your account.

Re: Receipt Requests in Mail
This is very helpful, and I thank you for the list. While I will have a look at it, I'm frustrated that it is yet another program to master when the one I am already using meets all of my personal needs. Oh well, at least there are options. I may try the Eudora client first since I used it in an earlier life. Again, thanks.

RE: Receipt Requests in Mail
Hi Folks, I spoke with one of my work colleagues today, he is a mac specialist. I asked him if there is a read receipt in mac mail, he advised me that no there isn't however there is no reason why you couldn't setup a rule to send out an auto response when the email is received within your system. This can however be a problem if you send a receipt to an out of office alert, which tthen sends back the same out of office alert, and so on and so on. So your rule would have to be very carefully written. However, if you use a mac connected to a Microsoft exchange server for email / calendaring etc. you could set the exchange server / your email account up to send out receits for any mail received into your account. Approx. 2000 staff using macs at my work and all of these connect either through EWS or Imap to the exchange server for mail etc and a large number of them use receits for acknowledgement.

Re: Receipt Requests in Mail
Not to turn this into an endless discussion, but I really am curious if people really respond to all of these return receipts or is it something that happens and they have to take no action. I never respond to these because in nearly every case I have to respond to the message, so it would be like replying twice. It would seem that if there was sufficient demand, APple would have implemented this facility into Mail, but apparently its use is not significant.

Re: Receipt Requests in Mail
Normally, receipt requests aren't important to me, but they are to the organization for which I work. I'm afraid that if I don't find something, I'll have to do all my mail under Windows which, in my case, is very doable but not desirable. I guess I will need to look for new e-mail clients under Mac OS that work with VO and have the receipt request feature.

Re: Receipt Requests in Mail
Hi, This is actually a feature I've wanted ever since I got my Mac. I kind of miss this one, as I need it a lot.

Re: Receipt Requests in Mail
Hello Anne, Oh, that's not good, but it can't be helped, I guess. Since this feature is used a lot in my office, I may have problems. Do you know if there are any other mail clients for the Mac that work well with VO? I hate to change, but the lack of this feature may be a show stopper for my boss.
