How to Request Read Receipts for All Messages in Windows Mail or Outlook Express

Do you like the relative certainty you get from requesting — and then getting — a read receipt for a message in Windows Mail or Outlook Express? Do you like it so much that you would like to get receipts for all the messages you send?

You don't have to enable the receipt for each message individually. If you make it a default, Windows Mail or Outlook Express automatically requests receipts for all emails.

Request Read Receipts for All Messages in Windows Mail or Outlook Express

To request read receipts for all messages in Windows Mail or Outlook Express:

• Select Tools | Options... from the menu.
• Go to the Receipts tab.
• Make sure Request a read receipt for all sent messages is checked.
• Click OK.

To send a message without the request for a read receipt with the default setting on, select Tools | Request Read Receipt from the message's menu to make sure the item is unchecked.
