Hi,

Just one more comment from me on this read receipt thing....It might be
more important than you describe and there may be more people wanting this
feature since it is listed as a $500 bountie on gnome.org (see
http://www.gnome.org/bounties/Mailer.html#127534 )

You can imagine I'm hope someone will claim this bountie soon ;)

Greetings,
