Re: [Gmail-Users] Abridged summary of gmail-users@googlegroups.com - 1 Message in 1 Topic

[Sach san]

OK guys, I got a good one.  Or at least I think it is.  U wizards may laugh.

Anyway,  how can I and can I prove any emails have been read on the receivers side?  In other words,  how can I prove that an email I've sent was read in case that the person receiving it can not Deny it, is in  court?

Thanks one n all.  This is very important!!!

Sach, da not so smart one

I just read the following article on Google +.

When we launched Gmail's new look, we did something different: we put

Sorry, can't do.

Microsoft Outlook has an optional flag in the headers that causes a
reply to be sent when the message is opened. It only works when both
ends have compatible email systems (such as MS Outlook). It is not
defined in the Internet email standards, and Gmail doesn't support it.
There is no way to prove that they opened your message (and
definitely no way to prove that they actually read it).

If you have a subpoena or court order, you can try and get the information from Google. I don't know if they will give out this info, but you can try.

--> Google's legal disclosure policy

Not even Google can know whether or not the recipient has read the email.

Sach, please create a new message with appropriate subject when posting to this group.

If both the sender and recipient use Gmail then they may. Otherwise they can only track the message until it leaves Google's servers.

FYI, there is a service I stumbled onto once called www.SpyPig.com
that purports to offer a way to see if others have read your mail.
(I have no idea if it works, as I have never used it.)
