well actually in my case its company policy to honour read reciepts to a
number of clients..... they are:

a, rich - and we want their business (telling them to turn that shit off is not an option)
b, they have no f***** idea about setting up their apps/system properly

but then again I kind of take pleasure in returning a read reciept to
someone who has sent an email to a mailing list - the vision of them recieving 1000s
of receipts I find very amusing :-)

as a side note - how come your php-general@gremlins.biz address always bounces?
