email tracking problem

I'm trying to set my email gadget so that I can request a read receipt everytime I send someone an email. (I am always keen to know whether someone has not yet read my messages, or whether they are just too darn slack to reply). I've got outlook2000 and when I do a 'new message' I select options, tracking options, and the 'request a read receipt for this message' box is always already checked. But I have only ever received one 'read receipt'. Does this mean that my recipients have switched off the thing that sends me a receipt? Or am I doing something wrong? thanks, Melanie *** Remove the NOSPAMs to e-mail me ***

Please refrain from posting in inappropriate newsgroups. To answer your question: not all mail-clients are able or configured to send those read-receipts. I suspect only a few (Outlook2000 only?) are. They do not *have* to send them, and IMHO, they should not send them at all. Please forgive me my possibly bad English too. -- Groeten, *Michel* _http://www.cs.vu.nl/~mdruiter_ ____________ \ /====\ / "You know, Beavis, you need things that suck, \/ \/ to have things that are cool", Butt-Head.

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......
