Guide Review - SentThere 3.0
One of the most interesting features of email is how easy it is to ignore a message. Sometime some people act as if they never got an email. And you wonder: did they really not get it? did they choose not to answer?
With SentThere, the answer to the first question is clear: if you get a receipt, they read the message. There's no action required at the recipient's end other than — and that's the catch — using a HTML-enabled email client and being connected while reading the message. That's quite a bit of a prerequisite for a return receipt that's supposed to be reliable.
At least: if you get a receipt, you can be sure. And SentThere surely is easy to use and integrates well with virtually all email clients.
