Read receipts are, at least in Outlook, optional to respond to. So...I don't see a problem. People send mail asking for them because for whatever reasons they have because they want to know if you've read the email. So what? It's not terribly effective as a practice, because the recipient can just ignore them but some people want to send them anyway. Nice to have the option.

- calebegg 13y agoThis is not about email. This is mostly about Facebook. Facebook has mandatory "seen" notifications.
- 1O0101ll100O 13y agoI just realized this after seeing the referenced article title. Does make my response marginally off topic. I have never used Facebook or Snapchat so I had no idea they used read receipts. Does iMessage have these too? [I don't use that either]
- calebegg 13y agoIt does, though they're at least optional. Several of my friends don't use them.
