How do I delete an email acknowledgement?

[Will G]

I received an email to an account that I only use for incoming mail. Having
agreed to send an acknowledgement, Outlook keeps trying to send - without
success. Where are acknowledgements stored? (not in Outbox) And can I delete
it?

Read receipts are hidden by Outlook in the Outbox folder, and Outlook
has problems sending read receipts which gets them stuck in the Outbox
folder (where you can't see them).

One method of getting rid of hidden stuck read receipts is to use
Outlookspy. See http://www.outlook-tips.net/howto/delete_rr.htm.
Outlookspy isn't free. It expires after its month trial period.

MDBVU32.EXE from Microsoft is free but a more difficult to use. Read
