I've been removed from mailing lists in the past, because they claimed I
hadn't been reading their emails! Even if MPro supported it, I'd have it
turned off.

When I was forced to use Outlook and couldn't turn off read receipts, I'd
read message in the preview panel without opening them to circumvent that.
Had many an irate phone call demanding why I'd not read their *very*
important email. O:)
