LOL. Sure, Anthony, you're right, and I'm certainly not pointing fingers or condemning someone for accidently sending a receipt request in an email! However, I have noticed that some people have this as their default setting, as all their emails contain these requests. This, quite frankly, bugs me, since I see no logical reason for it (if there is one, please let me know).
To all those who have this as their default setting: It doesn't mean that I have anything against you, it just means I won't reply to the email. :) 'Nuff said.

Good point. There is no reason to ask for a receipt request when sending email to mail lists. Looks like I'm guilty of that last night. I completely understand your dilemma. All those extra windows can get tiresome. I feel the same way about people who post in formats other than plain text, those who post half baked questions along with their unwarranted entire stack traces. These types of messages are usually ignored by me as well. Still, thems the breaks. It'll probably only get worse.

Okay, this is a bit off-topic, but as it involves core mail-list netiquette, I've found it necessary to post something, so here goes: There is absolutely NO reason to issue a receipt request when you send an email to mail lists, as it serves no function whatsoever except to annoy certain people (namely, me) who are trying to scan through the gazillion emails they get a day very quickly without little windows popping up. If someone understands your plight and wishes to respond, they will. If they don't, they won't, and even if they do issue a "receipt response", it just means they saw your email and didn't have an answer for you, so you gain nothing. More to the point, I will definitely NOT respond to any email that has a receipt request, nor will some like-minded others I'm sure, so you're just shooting yourself in the foot if you issue one. Your choice, as always, and happy emailing to ya... regards, Joe Barefoot P.S. I realize that for those of us using other email clients (I use Outlook mostly), this is not an issue, so kindly ignore my barbed comments. :) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
