Some people would consider that an invasion of privacy.

It would certainly be nice to know. Wastes less time on the sender's part, for one.

MTGSalvation does too.

Now, with those three examples, do you think we want to emulate them?

MTGS used to have something that would pop up and give you the option of having confirmation that the message was read, but it doesn't do that anymore. In my opinion, I don't particularly like it or see a use for it. If someone isn't responding, they're not responding. Who cares why - If it's about a trade and they take too long to get back to you, move on. If it's about something else and they don't get back to you, take the hint

My thoughts exactly. It seems like an awful lot of programming work to babysit traders who should be acting like semi-adults. Why does it really matter if they read it and ignore you or didn't read it and ignore you. Either way, they don't want to talk to you, so don't worry about it.

I'd rather have an articles forum. Also a crimped Alpha Lotus.

Do you know why this still hasn't happened? Or can someone talk to Leshrac and find out? Or something?
