Hi Craig: Allow me one important observation.
>> I need to have request read and delivery receipts turned on ... ... to know that 1) the email was delivered and 2) that the email was read... << I hope you see the irony in this: >> There is an option to "never send a response" which I always have checked. << I appears as if your own system will NOT respond to receipt requests - and you recommend that setting to others (and I fully agree with your recommendation). People who value your advice (hopefully those very people you communicate with on a regular basis) would have their confirmations turned off as well. That begs the question why you bother to send out confirmation requests in the first place, if you also advise/expect that the world has Outlook set up to ignore the requests you send? It seems wasteful to me and (as you have found out), in fact prevents you from participating in lists (if you follow the list rules). Your own recommend Outlook setting is the reason why there is null informational value in not receiving confirmation requests since you still would not know the status of the mail (e.g., did they really not receive it, are they on vacation - or did they just turn off confirmations like the rest of the world.) So, now you'll have to send out another follow-up email that says "Hi, I just send out an email 5 minutes ago and didn't see a receipt come in. I'm glad that your Outlook is set up correctly. Can you please respond to THIS email when you get it"?

In Outlook 2003 there is only 1 setting which covers all the emails not specific email accounts. Tools > Options > Preferences > Email Options > Tracking Options. I need to have request read and delivery receipts turned on as I deal with many different people and partners and in most cases I have to know that 1) the email was delivered and 2) that the email was read, well so I know they have read it. I have been bashed about the last few days about the Read Reciepts issue and cant find a way around it and nooone has come forward with a solution yet. There is an option to "never send a response" which I always have checked. This has the effect that if someone requests a read receipt from me, I don't get a prompt about it and one does not get sent. Is there a way around this?

When posting to our lists or forums, please comply with the following "rules:" 1. Turn off Return Receipt Requests. 2. Please search the archives and FAQ. 3. Do not add attachments unless specifically asked to do so. 4. Only add .zip or .txt attachments. Others waste bandwidth and are not necessary. 5. Do not post in html format. The size of a message in HTML is a lot larger than that of plain text. This is a problem for those on dial-up and those with PDAs. 6. Delete unnecessary text when quoting or replying to a post. Just include/keep the information relative to your response. This way, others do not have to wade through unnecessary information, only that needed to understand the post. 7. Do not use a "DIGITAL SECURITY Signature". It wastes bandwidth and causes problems to some users, like those with PDAs. 8. Please use a subject line that will attract attention to your problem and offers an insight of what asking about. (Example, a subject line of "Help" will be ignored.) 9. If you change the topic or direction thereof, change the subject line. 10. If you want a good answer, provide good details. 11. Please allow time for people to respond to your post. We are working too. Plus, some lists are known to be slow to post. 12. Please do not include lines of company/private legal disclaimer. You are sending to a list. It is going to be resent to everyone on that list. This translates into no longer being a private or confidential message. Also, some lists are archived and have been known to show up on Google searches. 13. Do not include any line as part of a message "signature" like, "If you have received this communication in error..." 14. If your post is criticized, please reread your original post you sent along with the reply and take a few minutes to think about them before snapping out your reply. 15. Do not initiate a flame against others. It is improper to do so on a list. Take it off list. Also, 9 times out of 10 you will be proven wrong. Please note: This list is a collaborative effort and will be changed upon valid suggestions. --- This E-mail came from the Declude.JunkMail mailing list.
