If you're using Outlook (up to 2003, don't know about later versions) with the preview pane, and set Outlook so that selecting a message doesn't mark it as read, it will not send the read receipt unless and until the message is marked as read, and you can read the message all day long without triggering it.
That's how I set my Outlook, because I think people who send read receipts are just annoying.
