CFMAIL -Read/Received Receipt

[rebelbags]

Group -

I have an application that uses CFMAIL to send out documents via email. The user of this application now wants to receive some kind of verification that the intended recipient actually received the email or read it. My thought was to add a Received or Read receipt. Does anyone know if that's possible using the CFMAIL tag or does any one have any better suggestions?

Any help would be appreciated.

Yes, you would use the <cfmailparam...> tag inside the <cfmail...> tag
to add the appropriate headers to the mail message.

You still need the person to actually reply, no matter what you put in the header.

TRUE, but if you put a "read receipt" header in the message, most mail
clients will strongly encourage the user to reply. Of course most also
allow the user to ignore these requests; which many, many do. But it is
possible for cold fusion to add the headers for all these users to
ignore the request.
