Outlook Express question

[Sam]

What's the "Request a read receipt for all sent messages"
in Outlook Express under the Receipts tab?

If I send this to a person who reads their web email such
as Hotmail, will this verfiy that the person has read
that email?

Please explain?

Yes, when a person reads an e-mail that flag should prompt the client to
return a notification that the message has been read. However, many mail
clients can block the returning of a read receipt. Motto: Don't rely on
read receipts.
