Default Outlook Express 6 unable to send read receipts

That, too.

What Bruce said.

These are called Read Receipt Requests. There is no guarantee that OE
can
or will send a Read Receipt to every incoming message that has requested
one. It works best and most reliabily when the Sender is also using OE.
YMMV if Sender's using another Mail Client.

I have Outlook Express 6 on my WinXP Pro SP3 computer . And I have one
friend who always requests to have read receipts sent to her when
someone
opens her e-mail. This worked fine for years, but lately whenever I open
her
e-mails , Outlook Express gives me a error message that it is "unable to
send read receipt " .
And I don't have a clue what could be causing this problem. Any ideas ?
Thanks .
