Part

Description

boolean

Set this to TRUE to request confirmation that the email has been read. Defaults to FALSE.

Remarks

If ConfirmRead is set to TRUE and this feature is also supported by the client's user agent then a notice will be sent back to the address in the email's From header confirming that the email has been read.

NOTE: Make sure you supply a valid email address for the From field when sending the message, since it is the address in the From header which determines where the confirmation reply is sent. If you are using SendMail then ensure that the FromAddress property has been set before sending the email. If you are using the QuickSend method make sure that you supply the correct email address for the From argument.

This property can be used in conjunction with all methods which send an email.

The PostArticle method does not utilize the ConfirmRead property.

Microsoft's Outlook supports this feature, while OutLook Express does not.
