Hello Peter,

Thanks for that !!   You know, I always thought that was for outgoing messages 
(whether or not  I wanted to request receipts... always, never etc)..

Ok, I did a couple of tests but it seems It won't  work with a MS Exchange 
account (using the connector of course).  The first strange thing I noticed 
was that the option was set to "NEVER" (default) but I've been doing tests 
for a couple of days and it always sent the receipt.  I changed it now to 
"Ask" and went to other mail account of mine and sent an email to this 
Exchange account (asking  for receipt).  NOw when I receive the email I'm 
notified that it is requesting receipt (that's good to know) and then I'll 
click "don't send" .  The problem is that, when I go to the other account, I 
see the receipt confirmation :(

I guess the receipt option in Evolution is mainly for POP3 accounts where your 
client is the one who's going to send the receipt.  It seems that in a 
Exchange environment as soon as you request to read the body of the message, 
the server IS the one who's going to send the receipt (and therefore it won't 
matter what options you have in your client). 

Thanks!
