[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 956240, member: 24098"] In a corporate environment, I can see your point. In a home or home office environment, why bother? Understand that the following conditions must be met for this feature to even function: 1. Your client supports the proprietary function. 2. Your mail server supports the proprietary function. 3. The recipient's mail server supports the proprietary function. 3. Your recipient is running a client that supports the proprietary function. 4. Your recipient has his/her client set to acknowledge the proprietary function. All of that adds up to a very unlikely circumstance outside of a corporate setting. It would be one thing if the function was part of a mainstream protocol, but it is not. It's unique to the Microsoft intranet environment, and while it would be great for a mainstream protocol, at this point in time it's just not there - so why spend development dollars on perpetuating a myth?
