I wanted to add a further comment to my earlier response. I would also encourage individuals to make use of "read" or "delivery" receipts for e-mail messages. This suggestion comes from personal experience.
How many times have you sent an e-mail to a colleague or to a member of the public who has questions concerning music therapy and wondered, "Did they get my message?". In some cases, you might wonder if your message was received after a couple of hours. In other cases, it might be days or weeks before you receive confirmation that the message that you poured your heart and soul into was received. By using the "delivery" receipt utility, you can be assured that your message did not end up somewhere in the digital universe. It also indicates a further element of e-professionalism; that you care enough about the information and messages that you provide and wish to ensure that they have been delivered to the right individual and/or organization. Granted, not everyone will choose to "send" a "read" or "delivery" receipt, but for those of us who do, it can provide a small measure of comfort.
