I don't think there's a way to *force* the recipients of your messages to reply whenever they read a post. Your MUA can "ask" for this sort of 'email receipt', but the recipient can always ignore it. My mailers always ignore this sort of mis-feature, for instance, because I consider it a violation of my privacy. Whenever I get one of these ``call home'' emails, I can't help but think: ``Why would you want to know that I woke up in the middle of the night, fired up Emacs, read a few qmail messages, but then thought it best to keep sleeping rather than reply to your message?'' Having said that, you can configure _your_ mutt instance to send DSN replies. Look for the dsn_notify and dsn_return options in the manual of Mutt. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
