Subject: return receipt

I very much need to get return receipts or some manner of confirmation
of email received.  I can't find reference to it for Pine so doubt if
it's supported or might it be undocumented?  Please advise.  If there
is *any* mailer you know of that offers return receipt, I'll use it for
at least certain critical emails.

There was a long discussion a few months ago about return receipts.  Pine 
does not provide return receipts.

WordPerfect Office Main and cc:Mail will send receipts when a message is 
opened for reading. (That doesn't ensure that the recipient read it <g>.)

Nothing is more effective that asking the recipient at the end of the 
message to send a message of reply.  That usually means he actually read \
it.

Be advised that many people do not like the automatic receipt feature.  
They can clog up mailboxes and are especially annoying on lists.

Hope this helps.
