There's a program called SentThere. It tells you what date and time the person has read your email.

This isn't about knowing when someone has read your email, but about knowing if a contact has read your text that you've typed in a conversation in MSN Messenger, which is impossible to know....


[OFF TOPIC]and about the email reading: That can _not_ be done with a program either. Unless that program includes a picture from the net or something so when reciever opens the mail the picture gets loaded and the site is informed about it and send something back to you... But this method is extremely unreliable. And besides, if you have a decent email client you already can send a mail with a acknowledge request included, it is part of the mail protocol, you don't need a external program for that.[/OFF TOPIC]

Well someone asked in the forum about if you can see if someone read their email. I have been using SentThere for years. I use it only for my hotmail email and it tells me the date and time they read it.

you could tap intoo their brain so that it linked with msn and told you if they had read it..... couldnt you?

Wonder can anyone sheds some lights, pertaining to the mentioned? Or any plug in in the works on this?

i think its been said a NUMBER of times that it CANNOT be done

I'm working on a plugin that hacks into your contacts computer monitor to find the exact position of the contact's eyes so it can determine if they have read the entire content of your message.

It should be out in a couple days.

... thats just the help file on the PM system on those forums, we have the same thing here

As CookieRevised has stated, this is impossible to accomplish by standalone software and would be very unreliable as a plugin and both computers would need to have it installed.

Now on to the suggestion of using the open window notifier. If you close your window right after sending a message then it terminates the connection. Once the recipient receives the message another connection is created thus the window being opened. Now the contact can close the window right away without reading it. Thus defeating the purpose.

I vote we just stop talking about this because its useless and will be very unreliable at best.

Is there any tool to check if your e-mail message was read?

That is ofcourse if your e-mail client does not have the "request read confirmation" or if you do not wish to use this. But ofcourse all things like this are unreliable, even the feature built into e-mailclients...if you think about it "what do you get notified of?" nothing more than that the receiving party opened the mail, he/she could close/delete it right after opening without reading.
