If you are sending with Outlook you can go to the options for the specific email and tick "Request a read receipt for this message" or "Request a delivery receipt for this message".
When the receiver gets the email a box pops up on their computer asking if they want to confirm delivery/reading. They're under no obligation to confirm so you may never know.
I think the OP is referring to e-mail notifications when a new message is posted to a thread he is watching. I which case he should check the option on this page: "Notify me when a reply is posted."
- it's in the options list on the left below the editing window. last option in the list.
I offer any information or advice 'as is' and hope that it has been of help. I am not an admin of this board, and my postings do not necessarily reflect the opinions of the board management. ____________________ Thailand TESOL forum
