You're right about the difference - on *delivery* versus on being *read*. Whether or not on-delivery receipts work is dependent upon the mail server at the destination. Some servers (not many) will correctly send a delivery receipt, but some (most) will not, primarily because it could be exploited by spammers and the like to scrape email servers for user lists, etc. Wikipedia probably has something about them. -- Paul Lesniewski SquirrelMail Team Please support Open Source Software by donating to SquirrelMail! http://squirrelmail.org/donate_paul_lesniewski.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ThinkGeek and WIRED's GeekDad team up for the Ultimate GeekDad Father's Day Giveaway.
