Summary: Confirm reception of mail

Initial Comment:
It would be cool if each list mail could have a link at
the end that -after being clicked- confirms that the
mail was read.
Would be nice for our local leo district where we want
to invite members and urge them to send a confirmation
after receiving the invitation. It would be easier if
the just could click on a link. Hope I made clear what
I think would be a big improvement.

I though of this: when sending the mail create a random
number which is used for the link and stored in the
database. This would require a new table with the columns
userid, mailid, randomnumber and confirmed. When the user
clicks the link confirmed is set to true and could be
displayed in the admin interface when viewing saved
mailings.
I am aware of the fact that this is not very trivial ;-) I
will use the cvs data and try to program it on myself, but
this could take a while. When I have something useful I
will
upload it to this RFE.

I suspect adding the link would be easy.  Slightly more
difficult would be having mailinglists keep track of
who has
read the email and who hasn't.

This is not impossibly hard, but it's more than just adding
a link to an email.

Actually, I think it's a lot more flexible and easier for
the sender to be responsible for confirmation and RSVP
links.  Like:  "Please let us know if you can accept this
invitation.   RSVP with pe...@ad...."
