Could you use the "voting buttons" feature? - put YEST/NO buttons on the message and a note in the message sig that says "press yes to agree that I have read & understand the content of this email" - or words to that effect.
Just a thought. P. From: Robert Peterson [mailto:robert.peter...@prin.edu] Sent: 29 March 2010 20:59 To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: Email receipt/acknowledgement Our Personnel department is trying to depend on the "read receipt" within Outlook. of course the recipient has the ability to simply ignore the request for a receipt, which defeats the department's need. I've been asked to see if this feature can be modified to provide feedback on the receipt of an email, independent of the recipient's actions. Of course it still wouldn't prove a recipient actually read and understood the email, but if it sends a receipt once the email is opened I think they would be happy. Is there a modification within Exchange/Outlook or even third party products that would accomplish this goal? Thanks for any ideas, Robert
