Quite a few people use email clients where settings such as this may not be simple to adjust on a message-by-message basis - the client either requests receipts, or it doesn't, for all emails sent. Anyway, if you don't like sending out such receipts, you can always tell your mail application not to respond to the requests.

If you have received this email in error, you are required to shred it immediately, add some nutmeg, three egg whites and a dessertspoonful of caster sugar. Whisk until soft peaks form, then place in a warm oven for 40 minutes. Remove promptly and let stand for 2 hours before adding some decorative kiwi fruit and cream. Then notify me immediately by return email and eat the original message.
