Easy, you look up a thread you can contribute and post to it :) > I don't know. You could ask return receipts, like I do. Hmm, we probably need a "return receipts" day, where everybody sends return receipts to everybody who asks them :) This way people might understand what a useless waste of time, bandwidth and storage space they are. Just one example: Outlook has this dialog box where you have to click "Ok" to send a read receipt, but even if you move it aside, you can't scroll down to actually read the entire mail[1]. And if the mail looks like you need to take the time to read it carefully there is no way to postpone it, you have to click "No" to get rid of it and later you will have to reply to it anyway IMNSHO, if the message is important enough that you want/need a confirmation "on file" you should specifically ask for acknowledgement, preferably at the end of the e-mail, otherwise you have no way to tell they actually read to the bottom. [1] What most people do is just click it away (or even worse, check the "Always send read receipts" box), which doesn't actually tell if the receiver really took the time to read that e-mail beyond the first few lines.
