Must reply to email
Posted by Barney on June 14th, 2004


Would there be a program in which the receiver of email must reply before they can close the open mail?

In short: NO.
because that is not how e-mail works.

Within an organisation (read LAN), you could force a readreply with
<OT>Exhange server and Microsoft Outlook</OT> (There even might be some
freeware client/server aps that can do this)
But over the internet surely not.
The forcing must be build into the e-mail client and probably also in the
email server,
and since you cannot force someone to use a specific e-mail lcient (that is,
only on a lan if you are System aministrator, or a Manager of some kind)

Using look out! (er... outlook) over the internet, you can Request a reading
receipt, but the receiver an choose to refuse sending of the receipt.

I guess that puts that to rest. It was not going to be used for anything illegal but for a bit of fun. Imagine the
possibilities. Thanks for all the replies.

No offense, but I hope that sort of fun lands someone's ass in jail.

Hmmm, (some) spammers add a little html action that "replys" back to
them when you open their email? That's how they verify an active email
account! So.. I suppose you could at least know if an email (from any
email progam) was opened.
