Hi Diane

I accept and understand the invasion of privacy bit but if you look at mine
of 16:55 15 Sep, you'll see a brief explanation of why I use Read receipts
despite that

Sleep well!

>think about it...if someone

<hee, hee>  I always do. A few people have come back wondering why I was
able to answer, yet they never got a receipt on my actions...and I tell them
that I stop the receipt because I consider them an invasion of my privacy
and annoying.<eg> Some I have told to turn them off or I'll stop replying.
But most I just say No when a receipt is requested. The only time I really
say yes is to close colleagues who live in other countries.

BTW...didn't mean to step on the conversation with the last post...I didn't
notice the rest of the thread. Time to get some sleep!<g>  (Yes, I'm on
vampire hours.<g> Greg is currently flying relief missions in the gulf. I'll
sleep better when he's safely back home.)

I've always found this feature to be somewhat buggy and
unreliable....however, I've also found that IT people sometimes lie and say
they've done something when they haven't LOL (think about it...if someone
denies your receipt, do you think they would actually admit to it?  Remember
there's also an option to be prompted to accept/decline the receipt on each
email....who knows what the IT guy actually does on any given day?)

Sorry, Graham...can't help you anymore on this one...perhaps someone else
knows...good luck.

Hi Linda - Hope you had a good holiday and thanks for the info

I imagined the Internet question would be as you say but the Intranet one is
different .....

I knew that Read receipt could be denied by the receiver, but it seems to be
more random than that - e.g. I have checked with our company IT technician

As a practice he does not Deny receipt of my messages and yet of those that
I have sent to him this year (2005) 53 have Tracking and 15 don't, and there
doesn't seem to be a pattern, i.e. Re: or FW: in the Subject line, fully
opened or unopened one-liners, and so on - all very strange!!

Graham
