Re: Read: FTP Problem

I agree this is a side-effect of the return receipt feature of some
e-mail applications, but I'm thinking it's the mail SENDER who needs to
turn off the feature when sending a message, so the message won't
request the reply from the readers' e-mail application.

Just a thought.
