Outlook 2003 Security and Privacy

Ignore all Read Receipt Requests

SUMMARY: Prevent Outlook 2003 from asking you to respond to return receipt requests.
 
Some Outlook 2003 users like to turn on Read Receipts for their e-mail. This way, any time their e-mail is read by another Outlook 2003 user on the same network, they will (theoretically) be notified that their e-mail reached its destination. While some find this feature useful, others may not like getting deluged with these requests. To increase privacy, you can choose to ignore these requests altogether so people will not know at what time (or day) you read your e-mail.

1. From Outlook 2003, click "Tools" then "Options".
2. When the "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, select the "Preferences" tab.
3. Click the button "E-Mail Options".
4. When the "E-Mail Options" dialog box appears, click the "Tracking Options" button.
5. Click the radio button "Never send a response".
6. Click "OK" on the three dialog boxes to close them.
