I'll prefix this with the fact that I'm a total Macbook and Yosemite newb. As in I have not used a mac since 1992.
I thought I had found an article on how to send and receive read receipts in Mac mail, but after searching again, all I found was some obscure comments that read receipts were really not necessary, so it was not a big deal, and another article that showed how to create rules via the unix console...not really what I was looking for. I just was wondering if there is not a setting I am missing? Business people DO need, as a matter of doing business, require read receipts, for obvious reasons. If you are not in business or government this whole thread will be baffling and boring...sorry.
Finally , if not, will read receipts from gmail , show up in Mac mail if it is set up? ...or I would be just better to wash my hands of Mac mail, and use my Gmail, and if so, is there a way to do this...an extension perhaps, in Safari?
Thanks for any and all help.
Dave.
