Ray, In Outlook 2000, as well as Mark's method, you can get to a dialogue that allows Read receipts and other options through the View menu, Options item, or by pressing Alt + P. 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.
