If I send an email requesting a return receipt, when the email is
clicked or opened, it will pop-up on recipient's work station asking if
he wants to send return receipt.
Let's say he says no. But obviously reads the email anyway.
When I get the return receipt back, it will say "email was deleted
without being read."
Can this mean that the above happened, i.e. recipient clicked No on
sending return receipt or does it mean that recipient definitely deleted
the email based on seeing its header in his inbox for example, and just
deleted it--didn't even go thru refusing to send receipt once request
popped-up?
Tx.

It could mean they read it in preview and didn't open it.

3 possibilities:

1. You will get nothing back.
2. You will get a receipt saying it was deleted without being read
3. You will get a receipt back saying it was read.

It depends entirely upon what the recipient does, which you cannot control. Personally, I disable all receipts and use an old program (WYB!) to blast senders with alternate read/unread receipts, usually in the hundreds. They soon get the message.
