- ryandrake 2y agoWe used to (and I believe still) have Read Receipts for this.
- xboxnolifes 2y agoread receipts just mean you opened the message, not that you actually read it. It's a terrible misnomer.
- m3047 2y agoYes! +1 And it's possible to disable Read Receipts and a lot of people do. A lot of people mangle beacon pixels too.
- xenophonf 2y agoOh yeah, the thing I always turn off or filter out because the last thing I need is another way spies and hackers and ad men can track every waking moment of my life.
- toyg 2y agoRead Receipts are invasive, because they signal when I read it - which might well not be when I want to reply. I could read an email today and then decide I'll reply tomorrow or next Wednesday, because reasons; but the sender will see the read receipt and just assume I hate their guts for not replying immediately to the Most Important Person In The World (i.e. them). So I turn them off as a matter of routine on all my accounts.
