Sounds like you may actually be wanting to know if the message is delivered. Most E-mail programs provide for receipts. Outlook provides two types of receipt, one to show when the message is delivered and one to show when it is read. The latter is not reliable but it sounds like the former is what you want. I don't know which e-mail program you are using so I can't tell you how to turn it on. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jill O'Connell Sent: Wednesday, October 20, 2004 12:45 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: knowing when message is sent When I send a message, is there any way to know whether it has actually been sent other than going into the sent folder? My server is somewhat unstable as it is Direcway which uses a satellite system; fast but quirky when it rains, etc. I am using JAWS 5.1 and XP Home if this helps. Thank you. -- To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
