How can you request a read receipt in outlook express 6, without the person
at the other end knowing that you have requested one.

Is there some software or a website reference the above??

Cheers,

The information is in the OE Help Files. Look for Read Receipt.
But, if they don't have it enabled, you won't get it.

You can't do it (depending on their settings).
I hope no one ever finds a way to do it.

Can't be done with OE or most any mail client. That's because that's how
spammers operate; they use invisible graphics that report to them whenever
you open one of their spams. It'd be irresponsible to do that.

You probably mean "*Can* be done ...", because that's the case. I.e.
if spammers can do it, then any somewhat smart person can do it. Whether
the tracking is *successful* depends on the smartness/non-dumbness of
the recipient, but because most people have no clue on how these things
work/can-be-prevented, the success-rate is quite high.

There is a company which offers this "service" (also for use with OE).
And no, I won't say which one, because I see no reason for 'helping'
dishonest people (*not* you) / companies.

I turn off read receipt responses; and I block third party receipts that I
am aware of. I don't know of any way to "stealth" your read receipt request
if the recipient is actively trying to avoid them, or look for them.


You also need to 'block' (not render/display) HTML and pictures (of
*any* size, i.e. also invisible 1-pixel 'pictures).
