Read Receipts stuck in Outbox

[Mervyn Thomas]

Whenever I get emails that require a read receipt, Outlook 2000 generates
the receipt which gets stuck in the outbox and seems to lock up the sending
program and apparently do not get sent. I usually end up deleting them.
Cannot find any setting which influences this strange occurance!

 

[K. Orland]

Often read receipts are refused by email servers. Receipts are stored as
hidden messages in the top level of the mailbox that wait for the next
send/receive.
