We really need a "request email receipt" for our college. Is that something Moodle has now or is planning on implementing?

Hi Paul,

eMail settings for admins appears the option for send notified mail to users. Also, eMail settings by user, appears again this option. (search by trackbymail option).

See also eMail documentation

The option for send notified mail to users doesn't work with the version 1.4.
The reason is the following line of block_email_list.php script:

if ( $preferences->trackbymail === 1 and $CFG->email_trackbymail == 1 ) {

The function var_dump show that " $preferences->trackbymail" is string(1) type. So, the condition is false and the warnings to the user's email address are not send.

Hi .

I installed the latest version of the "block_email_list.php" file but I still cannot see an option for turning on return receipt.

Is it under the administators rights only or can it be set on all email portal.

Thanks

Hi Michael
I have this module installed on our site, but I do not see this option in the administration > module >blocks> eMail list nor as a user permission. Was it in the documentation as a feature?

Hi Tiffany.

I did not see this feature in the documentation but reading through the comments above it looks like it is a feature that is available.

Paul.

Is this feature now working on your installation ?

Hi Michael and Paul
I haven't seen a place to turn this feature on and it doesn't seem to be automatically working on our installation. It also isn't a feature we urgently need so I haven't spent much time trying to make it work. I'd be interested in hearing what you to come up with though on this in case it because a user need on our site...
Thanks!
Tiff
