Read Receipts

[Sasso1]

I have been using Thunderbird & Windows XP for many years without any major problems. Recently upgraded to Windows 7 and now find that my request for a "Read Receipt" when sending an email does not appear to be working.
I click on "Options" which gives my the opportunity of clicking on "Read Receipts" but for some unknow reason this no longer is working.
Would appreciate any help - have tried all different ways without any joy
Thnks

I acknowledge that you are now using Windows 7 with Thunderbird as your Browser. To help with your problem, it would assist Techies to know...... What E/mail programme do you use?.

He's using Thunderbird.

Personally I never respond to a read request.

If you are on a works network then read receipts can be set to be send automatically, but over the Net then the sending system can not force the receiving one to send anything. Not sure this would be anything to do with the Windows change.

A 'Read Receipt' only confirms that the recipient has received an E/mail in their 'Inbox'. There is No guarantee that the communication has been perused and certainly does Not confirm that the E/mail's contents have been read and fully understood.
