I'm reopening this bug and confirming it myself. It seems that Evolution does support adding read receipts, but that it just doesn't pick it up. Sending mails from Outlook with receipt requests doesn't trigger anything, and a closer inspection of the mail generated by Evolution shows that it does add the "Disposition- Notification-To:" header item.
This bug isn't Invalid because it is non-sense that you have to enable something in the accounts settings for read receipts to work. The option Christian was talking about is setting the default behaviour, but you can also add read receipt requests manually via the Insert menu. This bug seems to be that although Evolution does add read receipt requests successfully to the mail header (can anyone confirm that it works in Outlook, to be sure?) it doesn't do anything when a message it receives requests a read receipt. I have confirmed this bug on an up-to-date install of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx. ** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed ** Summary changed: - 'Request Read Receipt' does not work at all + Evolution doesn't show Read Receipt requests when asked for by sender -- Evolution doesn't show Read Receipt requests when asked for by sender https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/70643 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to evolution in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
