[Heads-Up] List Etiquette & Return Recipts (Was: Re: Asking again
Portal framework login issue)
This is a just general FYI for anyone who posts to the user and -dev lists:
*Please un-set the option which causes your mail client to request a
return receipt!*
Return receipts are generally not useful, especially when the message
you are sending likely gets read by thousands of people.
Additionally, they usually cause the recipient's mail client to open a
dialogue box asking whether they want to send a return receipt. Highly
annoying!!
Thanks for your time,
Tony, hoping he did not sound too angry

As this is controlled by the Disposition-Notification-To header (IIUC) can ezmlm
be configured to strip this off all messages before relaying to the list? I
hate these things too, but know that some people use them for most business
communication and probably can't pick settings per-email.

No problem Tony!
A good way to "invite" people to disable this option is for everybody to
send the return receipt. I'm sure receiving several hundreds of
confirmations will make them run to their mailer preferences to disable
the feature ;-)

No problem Tony!
A good way to "invite" people to disable this option is for everybody to
send the return receipt. I'm sure receiving several hundreds of
confirmations will make them run to their mailer preferences to disable
the feature ;-)
