It
is possible to request a read receipt from the recipients of
your emails. With the help of a read receipt, the recipient can
confirm that he/she has read the email that you sent to the
person.
The tip below show how to enable the read receipt setting in
MultiMailer and how to request a read receipt for an individual
email document.

How to request a read
receipt from e-mail receivers: |
The tip below describes how to request a read receipt for an
e-mail message.
1. Start MultiMailer (if it is not already running).
2. Select or create a newsletter and open the correct
mailing list.
3. Request a read receipt by changing the setting from
No to Yes in the Receipt combo box:
4. If everything is ready for e-mail delivery, you can
now start the e-mail deliverey wizard in MultiMailer (for
example by pressing F6).
5. Step through to the wizard until you reach the last
step in the wizard. If you have chosen Yes at Receipt,
it should be clearly visible there. See the picture below:
If there is no text about read receipts there, then the read
receipt setting is set to No (no read receipt will be
requested).
6. Now start the mailing.
If MultiMailer has been set to request read receipts from the
recipients of your emails, the recipients' email programs will
alert readers to this and ask for a read receipt. Exactly what
it looks like varies from email client to email client.

Note that the next time you start MultiMailer, the read
receipt setting will always be set to No. The same
applies if you choose a new newsletter or open an
existing newsletter. This is to avoid sending out
e-mails where requesting read receipts is turned on by
mistake. |
