Subj: [kl] Return receipts
Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2001 17:12:38 -0400

I turned off return receipts for everybody some time ago, so I haven't
seen any of the return-receipt-requested nonsense from Mr. Jackson's
messages.

I agree that he should turn it off...these are just an annoyance. They
can be useful when you're running on a corporate email system like
Notes, Groupwise, or Exchange - but only for urgent and important
business communications. They're a pain in the *** for general
communications on the Net.

To ignore the request for read receipts in MS Outlook, select Options
from the Tools menu. Select Preferences tab and click Email options.
Click on Tracking Options. Under the text near the bottom of the dialog
about read receipts, select "Never send a response." Click OK, OK, and
OK.

Under Outlook Express, select Tools, Options, and click on the Receipts
tab to get to the same choices.

In MS Entourage (Macintosh) there do not appear to be any options to
ignore read receipt requests (but on the other hand, I'm not certain the
mail client will even respond to such requests in the first place).

Under Netscape 4.7x, select Preferences from the Edit Menu, click to
expand the Mail & Newsgroups item, click on Return Receipts, select
Never Return a Receipt, and click OK.
