They are not a reliable signal that a human has seen the mail, although they can be used to confirm it at least got to the recipient's mail server or were processed by their MUA.

	Wow; amazing.  i'Ve been checking thru /usr/local/etc/Muttrc
	and found something interesting.  This, circa lins #2900 ++:


	# Specifies how to sort messages in the index menu.  Valid
	values
	# are:
	#
	#    date or date-sent
	#    date-received
	#    from
	#    mailbox-order (unsorted)
	#    score
	#    size
	#    subject
	#    threads
	#    to

	but nowhere to specify the date-received.  Strange, yes?
	wait::: dsn

	# set dsn_notify=""
	#
	# Name: dsn_notify
	# Type: string
	# Default: ""
	#


	Be nice to suggest to the mutt folks to let this be turned on
	only for certain email.  I *have* tried to sub to the mutt
	mailinglist, but never get any responce.  AFAIK, there is no
	forum, so maybe it's time to roll my own hack!

	thanks muchly,

	gary

	mutt forum, so maybe it's time to roll my own hack!
