AOL email receipt

[hally]

I use Outlook Express and I know there is a facility to obtain a receipt when email is received by the recipient so that you know the message has been received.Is there the same facility with AOL.I have been told that there is but only if the email was sent to another AOL user.Does anyone know a way around this.Regards,Hally

Well, if you can put a small picture (1 pixel*1 pixel) on a server somewhere, and keep track of when it get accessed, you could put a <img src=http://myserver.com/mytinyimage.gif height=1 width=1>. If anyone with an HTML-enabled email program (such as AOL webmail) gets the message, they will attempt to download the image. Your server logs would tell you if it has been accessed or not, and when, and even by who. Thats how a lot of spammers are checking for valid adresses now (really annoying if you have an HTML enabled client)

Yes, on AOL you can only get reciepts from other AOL members.
