- This is wise advice, given that there are a number of users (including me),
- who detest the idea of software presuming to decide for me whether or not to
- send a message. It may be alright to ask the user whether to send an
- acknowledgement.
-
- I wish to don my moderator hat for a moment.
-
- The question of acknowledgements is really not an appropriate issue to be
- discussed in the IMAP mailing list. It is orthogonal to the IMAP protocol. I
- suggest the IETF-REMMAIL@UMICH.EDU mailing list, or the comp.mail.misc
- newsgroup.
