Making receiver of email acknowledge receipt

[Receivers acknowledgement of email]

In Outlook you can set up so that the emails have to be acknowledged with a
return acknowledgement to the sender that you have received it. I cannot
find out how to do this with windows. Could you please direct me. Thank you

In Windows Mail...
Tools - Options - Receipts
check "Request a read receipt for all sent messages"
OK


But this only works if the recipient allows it on their email program.

Hi, Receivers...

That is voluntary on the part of the receiver - and I consider it an
unwelcome intrusion most of the time and dangerous much of the time.

My Windows Live Mail is set to "Notify me..." when I get such a request and
I almost always decline. Very few of my friends request receipts. And I
sure don't want a SPAMMER to get a receipt confirming that the address he
used is valid! That makes my address more valuable to him and to all the
other SPAMMERS who might buy my address from him. :>(

In some business context, the setting might be useful - even valuable. But
not for me - or for must users most of the time, probably.

I see that WLMail's latest public Beta version (build 15.3.2804.0607) ,
which I'm using, has an additional setting that MIGHT address my objection,
but I haven't tried it and don't expect to. At Tools | Options | Receipts,
the 3rd Radio button now says:

O Always send a read receipt
[ ] Unless it is sent to a mailing list and my name is not on the
To or CC lines of the message

I've not yet figured out all the double-negatives in that line! :>(

What you are overlooking is that Outlook is mainly used in a one company office environment
with an Exchange server. Out in the real world it is more like the wild woolly west.
Most ordinary folks (myself included) ignore receipt request. I consider it an
invasion of my privacy for you to know if and when I read your emails.
