That is entirely correct - it is an Outlook function. -----Original Message----- From: program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Lant Sent: 28 September 2005 11:56 To: 'program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx' Subject: [program-l] Re: Off Topic: Read Message Hi Jim, AS far as I'm aware, the situation regarding read receipts is controlled by Outlook. So if you have the same version of Outlook on both machines, you should have the same options available. Having said that, it could be that the E-mail service being used could have an impact. E.g. your ISP may not use a mail server that supports read receipts in the same way. But that's just me guessing. David Lant I.T.
