[LegacyUG] Read Receipt for Message

2009-11-01 Thread William H. Boswell
I've noticed recently that a few users are using the option requesting a Read Receipt for their messages. While not a big problem, but unnecessary for a list such as this. Usually this is used solely for the purpose of business emails and should be turned off. I'm surprised nobody else has notic

Hi William, I use Microsoft Outlook and have set my options not to notify me when a read receipt is requested, as well as never send a read receipt. I never see these notices. Don't know about Microsoft Outlook. Kay - Original Message - From: "William H. Boswell" To: "Legacy Famil

I have always assumed most of these folk were required in business, to run the receipt, and forget it is running in the background. It seems to come up about 2-3 times a year, and is self monitored. Some newbies may see the message to someone else, and turn theirs off in advance. And when the se

I tried Thunderbird a couple of years ago and hated it. Their web browser, Firefox, was good until it kept crashing all the time so I removed it as well. Mozilla products are on my list of programs to avoid. I never switched to later versions of Microsoft Office because they became user unfriend

I found it and turned it off in my old version of Outlook. Sorry to be a pain in the rear, but as was said it's also a way for spammers to find live email addresses. I have enough problems with my computer as it is and don't need any help to make it any slower. Legacy User Group guidelines:

I get the "receipt requested" e-mails, sigh heavily and answer. I wish people would not ask, though. My sister sends stuff to me from work and her messages ask all the time. It is possible to continue anyway, but if you open the message again, you get the request again. (I do not use Outlook

Bill, I'm one of the users who requests read receipts. On the other mail lists I belong to (all on rootsweb), they are turned off, so I was surprised when I started getting read receipts from members of this list. I have requested read receipts because, as a volunteer, I needed to know when my im
