Hello Daniel,
don't you confuse the "delivery confirmation" and
"reading confirmation" features?
The first one is automatically sent in seconds by,
e.g., MAILER-DAEMON and other server software, so
no annoyance. Look at this:
"Saturday, June 11, 2005, 12:20:06 PM,
MAILER-DAEMON [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Your
message to thefollowing address was successfully
delivered. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>" [addresses
changed, not the date]
Though the person in guestion may be miles away.
In addition, sometimes there are occasions when I
send a business email but the people for some
reason do not receive it - probably because of my
software problems. In this event the "delivery
confirmation" is quite useful for me, it lets me
know that I sent it really successfully.
