Hi everybody!

	Does anybody know if it is possible to set up PINE to get a 
"Confirmation Reading" and/or a "Confirmation Delivery" when I send an 
e-mail? (as in Pegasus Mail).

Thanks.

    My understanding is that Pine, itself, does not.  Some "private" mail 
systems, such as Pegasus, may.  However, to the best of my knowledge, 
there is no Internet standard for such confirmation.  You can go into 
Pine's configuration (if you have Pine 3.91) and put in a 
return-receipt-requested header, but even then, you will get a receipt 
only if the receiving mail system honors it.  Not all do.  If it does, 
you will know only that the recipient's mail system got it, not that the 
recipient has read it.
