Wondering, given most people have emails ( documented at least in qrz)
What about generating an email message letting the qso partner that a qso card is being sent, for either direct ,bureau or qsl manager.
Benefits is
For bureau, it may allow the other party to also sent a card to the Bureau, thus reducing the time for transit time
Just a thought

Benefits is For bureau, it may allow the other party to also sent a card to the Bureau, thus reducing the time for transit time Just a thought + Thanks Robert. + DXKeeper records an email item with each logged QSO; it's accessible via the Details panel on the "Log QSOs" tab of DXKeeper's Main window. DXKeeper automatically records this item when a callbook lookup provides it; you can also manually populate it with an email address received during or after the QSO. Double-clicking a QSO's email item will invoke your system's default email client, and populate the message's "To:" address. + Going further and automatically sending an email message populated with information extracted from the logged QSO, e.g. "Thanks Robert for our 15m CW QSO on 2020-11-17 @ 11:03Z; I sent a QSL card to the bureau on 2020-11-23 and submitted our QSO to LoTW on 2020-11-18. Please QSL!; Thanks!" + would in my opinion be a bad idea, as many recipients would regard it as spam. + Sending a more personal message would likely stimulate a better outcome. DXKeeper already provides the tools for doing that. 73, Dave, AA6YQ

Dave, Just my 2 cents on this subject. Being a former owner of an ISP there is a threshold on the amount and size and of emails some ISP's will allow to be sent in a 24 hour period. Personally I usually work any where from 50 to 100 contacts a day, when I ran my ISP 100 emails a day was a huge red flag for spam, the sender's account was blocked and could not send more emails. Besides, (I know it's a personal matter for all of us) but I get almost 200 email's a day now (too many groups I want to read) it would be better if I would just receive a confirmation on the contact.. 73, W9RF - Joe

My 2 cents.
I agree with both Dave's 100%. We have soooo many online methods of confirming QSOs that sending automatic emails just makes it spam. 73. Carl - WC4H
