Auto reply read recipient

Dear All,
I use Mac X 10.5.7. I wonder is there any way I can turn on auto reply read recipient on mac? When I send an email I want to get a confirmation when the recipient open the mail.
Thanks in advance

run the following command in terminal
defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Return-Receipt-To" = "[email protected]"; "Disposition-Notification-To" = "[email protected]"; }'
and substituting "[email protected]" with your own email address. However, this will cause Mail to send a receipt request EVERY time you send an email.
also keep in mind that the email clients of your email recipients have to support receipt notification AND it has to be turned on. if they don't support it (Mail doesn't btw) or the feature is turned off this will not work and there is absolutely nothing you can do to get receipt notifications.

Disable Auto-Reply for Read Receipt

Is it possible to make me be prompted as to whether or not I send a read receipt?
A few people I know like to use the 'Read Receipt' option when they send me mail - if I'm on my windows PC I get prompted whether or not I want to send the receipt upon opening the message, when I use Mail on my mac it automatically sends it as I see a copy of the 'Delivery' message in my sent mail.
Would using Entourage prompt me since it might be a MS thing?

Hi Mike,
From your description, I would like to clarify the following thing:
AutoReplying For All Messages will bring mail loops, it is not recommended to send auto reply to all the incoming messages. Your understanding will be appreciated.
Hope my clarification can be helpful to you.

How do I create an auto reply for one person in my buddy list?

I want to be able to have an automatic reply to one person in my buddy list whenever they IM me so that i dont have to reply myself. I dont want to block them but i sometimes want to be able to just avoid them and so does anyone know any applescript that i can run whenever they send me a message??

Hi,
In the Buddy List highlight a Buddy.
Use the CMD and I keys together (Get Info)
This brings up their Info Card.
Select Actions (Same as Alerts in the Preferences In Fact some versions do Read "Alerts" )
Change the top item to Invite (Text)
Select the AppleScript option.
Set the Script to be Auto-Decline.
This will produce no response on the Buddies end.
For that go to the General Section of the Preferences and set the option to "Auto-Reply with my Away Message"
This will then send the Away message to the Buddy set in the first bit but to no--one else.
If you wish to be able to Reply when you have an Available Message up, that is a little more difficult.

Hai!
I'm new to website building, but i already came a long way
i made a form and i like to send a auto reply with the form content (if that isnt too difficult) to the person who filled it in.
The form i made is in PHP (coding i copied partly from someone from the internet .)
You can see the from at: http://vinddit.nl/vindditnu%20php%20version.php
My PHP coding so far

You can but you would need to send it as an html email which is much more complicated.
What you would do is build a page/table construction like below. You would need to use the php variables to echo out the information in the <td></td> cells (example below).
$reply = $_POST['email'];
$from = '[email protected]';
$replysubject = "Auto-Reply: Website Name";
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: $from\r\nReply-to: $reply";
$replymessage = '
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8">

<body>
<table>
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#ffffff" style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; padding: 10px 15px;">Name: </strong>'.$name.'
</td>
</tr>

</body>
</html>';
mail($reply, $replysubject, $replymessage, $headers);

How do i set an auto-reply at weekends only

Hi,
Ive been trying to work this out for days, but alas its beaten me ! I have a photography business with 'normal' business days staring at 9am Tuesday, ending 5pm Saturday. I therefore get a lot of enquiries on Sundays and Mondays (ie our 'weekend') and people don't often appreciate that its our day off. I'd like to set up an auto reply to e mails arriving in my inbox on Sundays and Mondays that say something like "I'm afraid that were closed on Sundays and Mondays, but we'll get back to you as soon as possible from Tuesday morning..." etc.
My theory is that i could set up the autoreply on Automator and have Calendar 'switch it on and off " at the right times with a repeat function. I just dont know how to set about doing either of teh two steps (if indeed its possible) and how to avoid e mail loops with people who also have autoreplies.
Any thoughts or ideas would be very much appreciatded !!
Thanks

In searching for a solution, I found this: http://guides.macrumors.com/DrivesandFilesystems
The info on Ext2 sounded promising, but comments at SourceForge indicated it did not work on Snow Leopard.
Another option is one of the NTFS drivers for the Mac. You could then format it as NTFS and use it on both Mac and Windows. However, I don't know how the permissions issues will work out.
I have run [NTFS-3G with MacFuse|http://www.tuxera.com/products/tuxera-ntfs-for-mac>, but not enough to say it is a viable solution for you. There used to be a free version, but it appears that it is no longer free.

There are no decent "Auto Reply SMS" apps out there. Besides for looking everyday in the store, is there a way to be notified when a new one crops up?

I am new to the iPhone world and I have the 4S. I just switched over from the Android World. I know there are no "auto reply SMS" applications out there as I've checked everywhere (store and 'net) looking for one. In this world of trying to be safe while driving I cannot believe Apple as the leader in the industry hasn't developed something yet to deal with this. I entered a shortcut in my keyboard of "qq" to be a "I'm driving right now...." auto text but I cannot believe there is nothing out there right now. My question, besides if anyone knows of anything for a non-jailbroke phone, is how can I find something once it comes out without checking the store so often? I set up a Google alert but is that about all I can hope for??

Hey Eric,
Thanks for taking the time. Unfortunately no that does not solve it. Same as swipe it will get me there and it will show separate programs spaced out. The issue I am having is that all my open word files are bunched up in a pile on top of each other. I can see the edges of each one but I want them to be separated from each other enough that I can visually identify what file is what.
Again, thanks for trying, it is appreciated.

How do you turn off auto-reply/notify in iCal?

I'm sure there's a simple answer to this because I've searched high and low and I just can't disable the auto-notify/auto-reply feature in iCal when I delete a meeting notice someone else invited me to.
What's the process for turning off this great feature (tongue in cheek)? I'm stumped.
JimN

A great solution here:

Install and it works a treat. You can either disable the auto-reply altogether, or have ical ask you first.
Hope that helps!

Message id in auto-reply

Dear All,
Can we remove the message-id from the auto-reply?
in an auto-reply the message bounces back to the user including in the body part the following:
Message-id: <[email protected]>
Date: Thu, 31 Jul 2008 21:36:08 +0300
From: [email protected]
To: [email protected]
Subject: sub
Can we eliminate the Message-id?
Messaging server 6.3
Thanks,

3.6.4. Identification fields
Though optional, every message SHOULD have a "Message-ID:" field.
Furthermore, reply messages SHOULD have "In-Reply-To:" and
"References:" fields as appropriate, as described below.

So coming back to my earlier question, why would you want to eliminate the message-id: field?

How can I set up auto reply on Mozilla Thunderbird email?

I can't seem to set up auto reply for my email. I need to do this because I will be away from my computer for over a month.

Please look at what your email provider can offer.
To do it using Thunderbird, you'll need to leave it running and connected while you're gone. Much better to use someone else's server.

When send email require auto reply email received and opened

I would like to know who to set up auto reply so I know that my clients they have recieved and opened email I have sent, if it is at possible with mail

Apple Mail does not support read receipts. You will find that most people will not sign receipts - personally, I would not; if you require receipts, you could send it USPS return receipt requested.

Preventing Loops Mail Auto Reply

Using the Apple Mail client I've been unable to figure out how to set up an auto reply rule that also prevents message loops. Can someone help with this, please?
Thanks

Well, obviously by not sending the auto-reply to one of the mail accounts you’ve set up in Mail or by specifying the appropriate conditions in the rule so that messages sent by yourself aren’t auto-replied to. More specific information is needed if you want a more specific answer...
BTW, there is no way you could be using both Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger) and Mail 1.3 simultaneously, as your profile indicates. Please, update your My Settings’s profile (and click Save). And if you’re really running Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger), it would have been more appropriate to discuss this in the Mail & Address Book - Tiger forum. If the discussion applies to both Mail 1.x and Mail 2.x, it doesn’t really matter, but it’s difficult to know that in advance.

Cannot get new messages to download automatically and auto reply with out of office message have to manually check for new messages to get it to do this

I am using Mozilla Thunderbird 31.3.0. I know how to create a message filter to set up an auto reply message, but cannot get Mozilla to automatically download new message and auto reply with the message in the filter unless I manually check for new messages, that is the only way to make it work. I have looked online and can't seem to find an answer to this particular issue. According to anything that I have found, I have the correct boxes checked in server settings: check for new messages at startup, automatically check for new messages, check for new messages every x amount of minutes. It's one thing to have to leave my computer on and Thunderbird open to make this work, but to have to manually check for new messages to get the auto response to work defeats the whole purpose of having an auto reply, as I use them for vacations, holidays, etc. I have wondered if there are any security settings that are causing this issue, but if so, I don't know what changes to make to them. Thanks in advance for any help. This is driving me crazy.

I do find it a bit odd that Thunderbird is not getting mail on schedule, perhaps you have an add-on or anti virus program that prevents that.
Holding shift while you start Thunderbird will start with add-ons disabled to check if mail come automatically.
Airmail is right though, use Verizons auto responder. This link might help with that http://www.verizon.com/support/residential/internet/highspeed/account+tools/email+tools/questionsone/85621.htm#
You say that not having such a setting in Thunderbird is something that needs fixing. This idea comes on the whole because Outlook has such an option. what most people are not aware of it only works with Exchange server. There is no "vacation response" in server mail specifications so every server implements it differently.
Just as all cars have a radiator, you can not take any radiator and just put it in, they are subtly different even though they perform the same purpose. Same goes for the various vacation responders, They perform the same purpose but they differ between email server software brands.
Thunderbird leaves it to the server end to expose the functionality, as they are really the only ones who understand what they did. Outlook exposes the option and mostly greys it out.

I turned on auto reply for mms now I can't find it please help methe Ask your question.

need help to find my mms auto reply option I need to turn it off please help

And no, since there is no "auto-reply MMS" to turn on, there's nothing to turn off. Do you mean "group MMS"?

How to stop sending Auto Reply when I am only BCC'ed

Hi, I am working as software developer. I am in charge of the maintenance tasks of some of our company's sites. Most of those sites are sending email notifications once a transaction/ticket is created. I have put my email address to the BCC in those email
notifications so whenever there is an issue i have a copy of the email notification. My question is i will be out of office for some days and i need to setup an auto reply, how can i setup a rule which the OoO is being sent only when I am in the "TO"
and "CC"? I don't need to send an OoO when i am only BCC'ed. Thanks

In this case i won't enable Automatic Replies (Out of Office) as it will respond even when our name is in To or Cc or Bcc
I have created a rule where it will auto reply only when my name is in To or Cc
In Outlook, click on Tools | Rules and Alerts
Click New Rule
Select the radio option, Start from a Blank Rule
Ensure the option, 'Check messages when they arrive' and click NEXT
Select the option, 'where my name is in the To or Cc box'
Click NEXT
Select the option, 'have server reply using a specific message'
In the bottom section of the Rule wizard, "Step 2: Edit the rule description", click on the link 'a specific message'
An "untitled message' window opens, enter an appropriate subject, for example, Automatic Reply: Out Of Office, and enter appropriate text in the message body type
Thanks for the email. I am currently Out of Office. I don’t have access to my emails.
Click 'Save and Close' button
Click 'NEXT'
Click 'NEXT'
Enter a name for the Rule in the field 'Step 1: Specify a name for this rule'
Click 'Finish'
Sender who sends email when you enable the rule will get a response like the below:
