So let me get this straight. This mod makes read receipts mandatory? I guess so, or it wouldn't work. So, if I delete a message before I open it (having already read it in email), this mod will be fooled? Or will it mark a message as having been 'read' even though I have not yet opened it?

[CrystaStarLight]

Great idea for a mod! Though I'd only be able to install it if I knew that it counts the PM as read automatically if the receiving user has it set for emails to be sent to them once they get a PM.

I also have this hack installed where people receive a text message if the get a PM. Maybe if you want to you can add an optional thing for that mod.

I was wondering about this too.

It shows 11 installs to date so I would have expected some of those people to have figured this out by now and said something.

I'm ashamed, but I have to ask (in a very bad english, I know)

I have installed this addon, but nothing happened. What am I doing wrong?

[duditas]

Well, I think I have found a possible answer.

This addon only works for me if I mark Request a read receipt for this message before I send it. :?
