Can I attach a DELIVERY receipt without the recepient knowing?

[McMug Pun]

Similar question was posed earlier. I don't want my recepient to know that I
have attached a delivery reciept, unless he is a computer expert.

Even if he has to know, I believe he doesn't have to have any input in order
for me to get a delivery receipt. Am I correct?

I am not referring to a read receipt here. That would be of course out of
the question.

That's correct, because servers return delivery receipts, not email clients.

Thanks! But I forgot to ask--will he know at all? Would it be obvious?

Probably not, but since you didn't actually provide any information with
regards to the environment (like Outlook version, server version), I couldn't
be 100% sure.

The best you can do is use the "Request a delivery receipt for
this message". This will cause the recipients mail server to respond
that the message was accepted and delivered to the mailbox you
requested.

The Read Receipt is optional for the recipient to allow or not.

you could use one of several "web bug" applications.

Depends upon the mail client to render remote images; and the recipient's
mail admin to not block the destinations of those remote images at the
firewall.

that's only using a true web bug method - if you use one of the security
methods at the link, the reader generally has to do something to read the
message - and that something allows it to be tracked.

I would not follow a lint to read an email. Period. If the message isn't on
*my* server (where I control egress), it goes unread.
