Poll #23032 Read receipts

When I receive a request for a read receipt on an email message, I

Ignore it
40 (83.3%)

Send it
8 (16.7%)

Well. Not so much opinions as An Opinion, which is that I loathe them. I have never ever sent one. To me an email message is like a paper letter in this way. Once I have sent it, it's up to the recipient when and if they read it and choose to respond.

I voted Ignore it, but in truth I very seldom get them. Usually I ignore but it happens, but will consider the read receipt if it's from someone I know. Mind you, if it's someone I know, I'll probably just answer the email.
