Outlook requires the read receipt to be opened before it (not pre.

[Peter A Hollow]

What is it with Outlook 2003? So good and yet! Here are 3 things that should
have been thought about before release or at least solutions made in Office
SP-1:

1. Why doen't the read receipt immediately (on preview) go to the deleted
items as flagged in the tracking options? Currently you have to actually
open it for it to move from the inbox!

2. Because Outlook is now more than ever a consumer product (so it is is
used like the MSN and Windows Messenger services) why doesn't it have
provision to remain active or automatically run when logged into windows (and
STAY minimised in the notification area - not just when minimised but when
closed also)?

3. Likewise why does the Outlook minimised icon bring up a little menu to
open it when the minimised in the notification area with muliple instances of
it being opened and listed? Shouldn't it be again like the Messenger
services that is you click on the messenger program it jus simple opens once?

You mean SP2? SP1 is out already. Don't expect (much) functionality changes
in SP's though. SP's are mainly for bugfixes and security fixes.

1) It is just how it works. You can request a change here;
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=http://register.microsoft.com/mswish/suggestion.asp

2) You can configure any program to run at startup by placing a shortcut to
it in the Startup folde or create a task in Task Manager to run at logon.
Keeping Outlook running even when pressed the close button is a feature
change you can request here;

3) Can't follow you here.
