Good to know choosing to send a read receipt is easier than I'd suspected. Seems too that using alt-p in a new message to bring up the many options in that dialogue, you can press alt-r to tick the read receipt option in that dialogue. All this assuming recipients don't have responding to read receipts turned off, of course.

Both of these need you to be in a new message window. Outlook Express doesn't have the variety of options that Outlook 2000 does, but you can put a read receipt on from the Tools menu, again once you are in the new message window.
