For instance some mail servers (hotmail I think and others) block the response. You can't use it easily if you are using Pegasus mail. If someone is using a software firewall they can block the response from their PC if, as I do, they have their mail on "ask first" Same goes with some of the corporate firewalls. The firewall may stop it or the recipient may choose to. I asked their techs about this and they agreed it was a problem but they were working on it. So - I still use it as a convenience because it works on say 90% of the recipients but I don't treat it as gospel. And I wouldn't spend any money upgrading from the free version. Ray |

| 272477 | 2004-09-15 04:58:00 | Why? It's not really any different to registered post or track 'n trace. | Raymondo (5284) | ||
| 272478 | 2004-09-15 05:21:00 | You think lodging something on someone elses computer that reports there actions back to you is like registered mail?....sounds more like a trojan to me. Even if i can see it as quite harmless i am 100 percent against it due to principle. |

| 272479 | 2004-09-15 05:48:00 | In corporate circles many have "Request a Return Receipt" facilities. Thats the same as MsgTag in operation. Its standard in most MS Outlook systems, and most large companies appear to have it enabled system wide as a "compulsory setting" I believe. I choose to never return the receipt however. Eudora plays nicely with these and they all get blocked. Unless I want to impress someone that I read their email at 2 AM... |
