A. Email senders can request read receipts that notify them when you read their messages. By default, Outlook will prompt you before it sends a read receipt. To permanently set Outlook to never or always send a read receipt, perform the following steps:
In Outlook, select Tools, Options.
On the General tab, click E-mail Options.
In the E-mail Options dialog box's "Message handling" section, click Tracking Options.
