When you dont have anything to add, but want the other person to know you got the message.
Or is the emoji for ok 👌 already serving that purpose?

(102,291 posts)especially when they appear on cell phones. I can read the text just fine, thank you very much, so it isn't my vision that makes them hard to decipher.

(82,849 posts)Just quit sending "thank you" emails. Unless you get a bounce message because it was undeliverable, just assume everyone gets their emails. Quit with the "thank you" or "roger" or "okay" or "copy that."
When I am installed as Dictator for Life by unanimous acclamation of humanity, those e-mails will subject the sender to the death penalty, which will be administered right swiftly. I could be installed on that plank alone, but I have other programs, at least one having to do with ads and unsolicited phone calls sent to cell phones. Punishments for offenders and carriers who don't block the offenders will be tough but fair. And in certain particularly egregious cases, public.
