Selectively Request Receipts

I would like to find out how it would be possible to add a button to an existing toolbar in Outlook 2000, where, instead of having to navigate thru the file menu then clicking properties then clicking on request read receipt, I can just click on when I want to request a receipt from my selected recipient. I ask receipt only about half the time, because it ends up being a bother to some people, including myself. But there are times when you want an important message to include a receipt so youhave proof the user at least received the message. I’m not sure, but I think it will involve Visual Basic, which I haven’t even begun to understand yet. If someone has already figured out how to do this, it would be well worth all my points to me,but I’ll start with 1000. Thanks in advance.
