We have a few users here that rely on the return receipt.  They use it
as a cover your butt (while uncovering yours) tool.  Instead of actually
making sure the work is done, they print the e-mail that they sent to
you and the Read receipt.  I always review their e-mail in the preview
pane and delete it without reading it.  It has been 3 years and they are
still amazed when I show up to fix their PC.  They still ask me how I
found out they needed help.  I tell them I am in IT it is my job to know
information.

I'll tell you exactly what happened (my boss does this all the time)

They "read" the email in Outlook preview pane, never actually "opening"
the email.  After me going in a saying., "What the heck do you have in
your mailbox this time that you're over a gig?", he deletes everything.

Gotta love it.

Thanks

Russell

Unless you have users like me:

Your message
To:  <some coworker>
Subject:  READ ME NOW
Sent:  ______4/3/2001______

was deleted without being read on 8/13/2003.


Unbelievable.  This was the first time this person had opened Outlook
since some time prior to April of 2001.  This receipt will remain
hanging on my wall until I get another one like this that is worse.

Don't know if you got Exchange running in de domain. I know you can see
the last access time / logon time to the mailboxes. If it's been a while
(>month??), there's a big chance the user is gone. Not 100% proof but
maybe it will help you out.
