Still cannot requested a read receipt

[Guest]

I use Outlook 2000 currently. I have received several E-mails in the past
from senders who, when I read them, get a pop-up screen prompt that states
the following: Microsoft Outlook, [name of sender] has requested a read
receipt to be sent when message '[name of message in SUBJECT field]' has been
read. Do you want to send a receipt? I am a home user, and do not use
Microsoft Exchange, but this prompt still comes up when I’m sent E-mails from
users who do this; I have to answer it before the Outlook allows me to do
anything else. How do I set up an E-mail that I'm sending to request "a read
receipt"? Please note also that , whether I go to the main screen, or open
up a new window to create an E-mail: when going to VIEW, there is no OPTIONS
option; ...and when I go to TOOLS, there is an OPTIONS option, but then no
RECEIPT option found. Please advise me. Thank you. Ben

In Outlook, when you create a new Message, click on the Options button. You
can set the request for a read receipt there. The Options button is not under
the View menu item, it is a button on the email. You must be viewing your
Standard and Advanced Toolbars.

If you wish to request a read receipt for all email, in Outlook you must go
into Tools > Options > Preferences tab > Email Options > Tracking Options.

Just a note about read receipts, many servers don't send them and they may
end up sitting in your Outbox or you may notice that there is nothing in
there but Outlook advises it's sending message 1 of 3 when you're physically
only seeing one email that you're trying to send.

Thank you. Do you realize (FYI) that I had to post this question three times
in three days before someone finally gave me the right answer that I need to
do what I wanted to do. Also, I searched all the MS KB and MS OL Help, and
could not find an answer to this. Thank you again Kathleen. You are so
sweet. Ben

Thanks. However, what I was looking for, Kathleen answered it, i.e. the
OPTIONS button in the E-mail itself that I did not notice until Kathleen
pointed it out to m. Thank you. Ben
