Request Read Receipt for an Individual Message SUMMARY: Request a read receipt for an important message sent in Outlook Express.
When sending an important message in Outlook Express in Windows XP, you can request a read receipt for said message. This way you can help ensure your e-mail reached its destination and was read, even if it has not been responded to yet.
Note that while read receipts may be a good idea for certain messages, receiving this notification is not guaranteed. Your recipient may use non-Microsoft software that does not support read receipts. Also, e-mail users with Outlook, Outlook Express, and Windows Mail can configure their software to never send receipts or ignore particular requests.
To request a receipt anyway, when composing an e-mail message, select the "Tools" menu and check "Request Read Receipt". This will check the menu item. You can remove the receipt request for the message before sending it by repeating the step.
