Now I have a question for the gents. When you take the time to write, you - well, have the time at that moment or you would write us once you did. When we get the email, it might not be at a very good time. Sometimes we are slow and sometimes we are so busy we can't catch our breath. That said, would you rather a quick reply of a few short lines letting you know we got your email and will take more time to read it when we get a break? Or would you rather we don't respond until we have the time to sit down and do a proper response?

, but something like "Thanks, got your note. I'm traveling but I'll respond with more in a few days." is fine with me.
The actual confirmation of (human, not form reply like the other poster suggested) reciept is big regardless if the answer id yes, no, maybe, or like I outlined above. At least I'm not sitting around wondering if my email ended up in your spam filter,
