Although I don't need this service, it appears to be useful for certain mission critical applications. Like lawyers, you don't want to lose an email regarding big-money affairs. According to the quotes found on the site:
Quote:
"As a lawyer, I can't live without your service."
- Gary (July 6, 2003)

"Now I can prove my email was received."
- Laurie (September 12, 2003)

"It is a great service...it almost feels subversive!"
- Douglas (May 19, 2003)

"...the main reason I use it is because I get people telling me they didn't get my email."
- Carol (July 21, 2003)
An interesting question is what shows up in the users' Inbox if you send them a ReturnReceipt email message? A link to an email stored on the ReturnReceipt website? This sounds like the only way to make it pratical/possible to have the features described at this time, with current email client capabilities...
