ask for mail delivery notification on each outgoing mail

Thanks for your bug. Do you really want to get a notification for every single mail you use? I think very few users want to do that, upstream already have some thousands bugs open, before opening yet an another one better to make sure there is a real usecase for that request. Is anybody else interested to get notification about every mail sent?

Hi,

in my company, most users only send internal mail for which they need to know if the recipient has read it.

Since we have moved to ubuntu (and use evolution as primary mail client), they regret that functionnality (that was/is present in thunderbird).

We prefer using Evolution for mail/calendar and because it's better integration to Gnome (like right click on a file, "send to...", "send as : email (evolution)" <= as thunderbird is installed, it's not present in the list (should I report a bug for this ?))

Regards
Mathieu
