How do you put delivery confirmation on an email sent through outlook express?

[ThaGrandCow]

I'm having a dispute with someone over an item sold and I need to know that he's actually getting the emails I'm sending him. Is there any way to do that through OE?

when composing a message, go to tools, then request read receipt. not quite the same as a delivery receipt, but that's as close as you can come, afaik.

Yeah but that only works if the user on the other end has "always send a receipt" enabled

Do they have to send a reciept or is it automatic? I'm assuming the person will get the email and then either delete it or just not respond to me.

EDIT: Baff... is that enabled by default?

 

[gopunk]

they can set it to auto send, never send, or confirmation. i think the latter is default.

yeah it asks you if you would like to accept this and send back the originator a note saying that you read it.

if you click no you dont get diddly squat back and you wont know if he read it or not.

Does this do the same thing?
