This is very helpful, Jim, and I will certainly read the documents to which you referred. However, in order to not make waves here at work, I will use Outlook. Most definitely not what I would have wanted, but it's probably for the best, politically. Thanks to everyone, Mike On 15,Feb,2011

Hey Everyone, I did some more digging here, and found out that the answer is that you need to use outlook. Read on... 1) Mail Disposition Noticiation (MDN) does exist, but is very poorly supported; mainly because it's so easy to get around. However, outlook does respect MDN requests.

Hello Michael, Anyone using standard SMTP based mail (whether it be Mac Mail, Thunderbird, Outlook, or something else) will not be able to track when an email message they've sent out gets read, it just isn't possible. So, the question is, what are your workmates using to read their mail, and wou
