Is there a way in OE6 to set "Receive Read Receipt" as the default setting.
Most of the time I want one.


Thanks,
Dan Hacker

Do I feel silly. Should have thought to check there first, but I figured it
couldn't be that easy. I just know there had to be something more to
it--like a registry hack.


Chagrined,
Dan

BTW, thanks for the answer!

There are 3 ways to reply to a read receipt request:
Do not send.
Ask.
Always send.

You don't know what setting the recipient is using.

Nonsense. Most people will respond to a Read Receipt request on
messages which are (manually) confirmed to be from a known good sender.
I do and so do most of my respondents.

As Ron mentioned, one of the choices for the recipient is "Notify me
for each read receipt request", so the recipient can send a Read Receipt
if (s)he is absolutely sure the message is legit, and not send one in
all other cases.

read receipt req are used to confirm email address by spam bots

Possibly, but I have never had such a case. Most spammers use other
mechanisms, like requests to (supposedly) unsubscribe, web bugs, etc..

Thank you Ron, Bob, and Frank for the comments.

Will I get a read receipt for this message :-)

Most of the people I know set their option to "Never send" as soon as they
find out that they have an option. (Some take a while.) The receipt is
pretty much meaningless anyway, because it's really an "open receipt"
rather than a "read receipt. Getting one means that your message might
have been read. Not gettiong one doesn't tell you anything.
