Is a received fax any more legally binding than an email read receipt/pixel tracker?
- ale42 5y agoRead receipt pixel/trackers can't prove something has been read. Thunderbird for example doesn't load remote images by default, by design, as they can be used for tracking purposes (including by spammers).

- tupac_speedrap 5y agoHa, I bet the estate agent charged you thousands for that too even though its all remote.
- zabzonk 5y agoNope, about 800.00 GPB, which is a lot, but you are also buying insurance in case they f*ck up. The price was the same if they used paper. I don't normally like to say good things about solicitors (not estate agents, I was buying, so I didn't have to pay them, but I hate them too), but mostly they did OK.
- GekkePrutser 5y agoIn some countries like Austria: yes. We still support fax machines there for that reason
