Hi, I'm doing an email merge with Outlook Express. How can I get the "read
receipt" to work with this? |

If you check Outlook Express Tools|Options|Receipts|Request a read receipt
for all sent messages, does that make any difference? If not, there's probably no way you can do it from e-mail other than by using the "merge to e-mail" approach described by Doug Robbnins at http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MailMerge/...ttachments.htm and even that may not work with Outlook Express. (FWIW it's not something I normally do, and I suspect I am not the only person to dislike getting "read receipt" popup messages in my e-mail reader: if I'm going to reply, I'd rather do it properly. If I'm not, I'd rather not be pestered and tend to assume that responding to the receipt request is going to result in some form of malware afflicting my system).

Hi Peter,
That will not work with Outlook Express. It requires use of the Outlook Object Model. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis. Doug Robbins - Word MVP "Peter Jamieson" wrote in message ...
