I finally remembered to do the right thing, and checked the claws-mail online man pages. It does support both sending and receiving return receipts. Here is the snippet from their FAQ about this: """ Does Claws Mail support Return Receipts? Yes. To request a Return Receipt use '/Options/Request Return Receipt' in the Compose window. When you receive a message that requests a Return Receipt a notification area is shown just above the message view. You can either use the 'Send receipt' button, or ignore the request - no receipts are sent automatically. You can choose to never send Return Receipts by using the option on the Mail Handling/Sending page of the Preferences. When you use this option, all Return Receipt requests are ignored and you will not be prompted to send one. """ And I have that turned off, so at some point in the past I must have been concerned about it, turned it off, and forgot completely ever being concerned. Sigh. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
