How to detect delayed delivery?

[Nat]

Hi,

I use Outlook 2003 SP2. Is there any way I can find out if a specific e-mail
was sent using the "do not deliver before" option?

Thank you

I use Outlook 2003 SP2. Is there any way I can find out if a specific
e-mail was sent using the "do not deliver before" option?

What type of account? At which point (on the sender side or the recipient
side) would you be looking for the evidence?

I am the recipient and would like to know if the delayed delivery function
was used by the sender.

You can certainly see delays if this is a message received from the
Internet. Although there's no way to determine the actual cause of the
delay, I'd think it reasonable to assume it was delayed delivery if there
were a significant difference between the Date header and the time stamp in
the first Received header, but that's not a guarantee.

I think on Exchange networks the Sent field (as opposed to Received) gives
the game away.
