mailto: acknowledgement status


My windows C++ app has a HTML form in which I am generating a mailto link. Once the user clicks on it, goes to his/her email client and sends the message, is there a way for me to know in the app if the mailto succeeded?

My gut feeling on the answer is no. In any case checking with the smart folks here.


Solution

  • No. There is no way for you to know if an email reached its recipient - unless you get a mail (or other communication) back from the recipient saying they got it.
