Is the poll regarding requesting outbound read-receipts from the recipient, or having FM acknowledge incoming read-receipt requests from a sender?


I'm assuming the poll is about the former, but perhaps it's generally referring to both.


In case anyone doesn't know, a desktop/IMAP/SMTP email client can potentially handle both, independent of how the FM UI handles things.


BTW, in case anyone also doesn't know, the FM UI *does* have a flag to request an outbound read-receipt. It's in the upper-right corner drop-down. I use it often.



For over 2 decades now, most receiving email servers strip or ignore the incoming read-request flag, because of privacy/security reasons.


I for one always request the outbound read-receipt. I have some contacts that actually do acknowledge it and send the reply. This can help with things.
