Someone enlighten me please…… Through all the versions of Windows/Outlook Express and Outlook, there is a function called “Request Read Receipt” to notify the sender when the recipient opened the email, or if they even got it for that matter……..
However the coding has been wrong since the very beginning, and no one seems to care….. Whether you choose it when sending an individual email (TOOLS | REQUEST READ RECEIPT), or turn it on for all emails (TOOLS | OPTIONS)……..
The recipient has the ability to say NO, DON’T SEND A RECEIPT…..
What the heck is the point of having it then? The problem is, it should be coded as a “VB-Okay-Only” box.
In other words, the recipient sees your email as a single line entry in the INBOX (as many of you by now are smart enough to have turned OFF the “preview pane” which can launch code by the mere fact of that email “having the focus”)…. and when double clicked, the recipient gets a box that says, “The sender has requested a receipt when this message is opened”….. and you get ONE button that says OKAY…. period !!!
If you don’t click it, the mail doesn’t open. Simple as that……. Can anyone tell me the point of even having it, if the person can always opt out of sending notification back?
