So I have a co-worker who sends a "request receipt" on all the mail he sends. He refuses to turn it off even though it's completely pointless and annoying. I think it's time for me to annoy him just as much. Now I've written a rule using the VB Editor in Outlook that determines the mail is from him and there is a request receipt on it. Now the question is...what can I do that will be annoying for him. Obviouslly I can do the simple send "this has read" 10 times for every 1 he sends me. That's just not good enough though. I want something with annoyance and hoops just to read my garbage replies.

Well I have to hit yes/no for every single message I get from him. That's pretty annoying.

But then I'll get more email from him because I'll get a return receipt when he reads my return receipt. Of course that would make me even more annoyed.

I think I need to find out what I can do html wise in emails. If I can do javascript....sweet mama I can annoy the hell out of him.

Yea you can do anything you want, but it would be easy for him to disable it.
