Having used PC's Outlook, there are options to receive a message on
reader's receipt or deleting of an email I've sent. However, I've not
been able to find a similar feature in Outlook Express - I'm using
5.0.6.... Can emails be tracked - usually found when creating a 'new'
email, under the 'options' I think, in PC Outlook.

Please reply if you know the answer or can help me in my quest!!

It isn't guaranteed to work, but this is how to do it...

If you need to reply directly to me, just remove the capitalised letters
from my faked e-mail address. Otherwise, please post back to the
newsgroups.

Ricky,

Thanks so much for your reply. I couldn't get it to work. Tried
emailing myself to test it, but no window came up asking me to send
read-receipt or not. Perhaps this isn't a valid test to see if it works
or not?

Kind regards,
Narjas

Hi,

Your own mail server probably doesn't support the feature, but that's not to
say that the server of your real target address won't, just don't hold out
too much hope.

HTH,
