It was Mark P. not Neil C.

[James Mahaffy <mahaffy@xxxxxxxxx>]

Neil is absolutely right the problem is in the person that originally
posted with the subject.  In this case Mark Purnell. Not everyone's
reading will send back a confirmation. It is only those who have Pegasus
(sp?) or Pine readers.  I read on elm and it just won't confirm.  It may
be possible for the mail readers to be set to refuse to confirm a
reading, but there are good reasons for someone to want to know that
your message has been received or read. 

By the way I did send a nice note to Mark P., but not receiving any
answer, I don't know if he is even aware of the problem.
