Have a so called “family friend†with whom I have to communicate very
regularly but who refuses to turn off automatic requests for Read receipts
and Delivery receipts.
We were being driven crazy with the quantity of copies being generated.
Think that this is because we have 2 Blackberries and multiple Gmail accounts
using IMAP and all with Outlook 2007 on 7 shared computers (desktops &
laptops).
2 Questions:
(i) DELIVERY RECEIPTS: From what we have read, it seems that it is
impossible to block/stop delivery receipts . . . is this correct? . . .
would love to be proved wrong.
(ii) READ RECEIPTS: Is there any way to completely block read receipts?
Originally we couldn’t tell which device was sending the read receipts . .
.. in fact think it was probably all of them. So started eliminating them one
by one . . . First the Blackberries then the desktops and laptops . . . but
many still get through, and in a very strange way (only now from my wife’s
computer but with my name and from her e-mail address, which is the default).
Herewith a sample copy of the headers of one of the original Read receipts
extracted from G-mail (with a few changes to protect the innocent):-
