E-Mail Notification

[©opy®ight]

I'm not sure if i could do this once or not... is there a way to put something in ane-mail so you get a notification when the receipient opens the mail ? I'm sending from gmail to MSN if you need the specifics. I think i kow there was an option like that when i used AOL but i'm not sure anymore. Is there something like that ?

Why is this in Newbie Security Questions ? It compromises privacy lol come on, more ueless threads make it ino the forum.

A'OhelL used to have such a feature - it evolved into the 'unsend' option in their email setup. Nowadays it's easy to tell if a sent mail has been opened or not from them since the 'unsend' option disappears on mail that's already been opened by its recipient. Sure wish ThunderBird had that feature...
