Hi Tony It is possible to set outlook express up to request a read receipt for sent messages. You can choose your preferred options by going into tools, options and receipts.

I am using OE and wonder in the tools menu or other how I have to specify if it is a once-off receipt, in other words, I request one say each time or can I have OE configured that it will always request a receipt except hopefully where lists such as this are concerned?
