How to Change the Automatic Response to Read Receipts in Outlook Express
In the business world, read receipts are frequently used when email messages are sent. A read receipt tells the recipient's email software that the sender would like a confirmation to be sent when the message has been read. If you frequently receive messages with read receipts, you may have Outlook Express configured to send read receipts automatically. In some situations, however, it may be more prudent to decide yourself when a read receipt is sent. Change the automatic response feature in Outlook Express if you prefer to have receipts sent manually or not at all.
