often when people get a message where the sender has asked for a read
receipt, the receiver gets prompted before the receipt is sent ....  I can
tell you that in my case I always refuse to send the receipt, for two
reasons:
- I am not keen to let people know if I have read their email :-)
- The network is already submerged with trashmail en spam, no need to add to
this.......

hopes this provides some help......
