Eh.. no?! If you send it to 10 different recipients, with each representing a different role, then you are right. But if you have one address for several people then it is somewhat obvious, that each person is the representative of a role that only needs to acknowledge the receival of the mail _once_. Believe me: If every (currently 3) people that read the mail would acknowledge that our customer would sureley not feel this funny. > MUAs that understood the receipt request thing wouldn't they all > acknowledge? If not then it's an even more un-useful facility than No, they don't, because they ask the recipient in *every* case. That is like the postman that asks you to confirm the sending of a letter. Its only different in that he does not deliver the mail if you don't confirm the sending of a letter. Regards, Patrick
