How to I set all outgoing messages to request read receipts? I can
do it one
message at a time, but its tedious. Isn't there a defalut setting?

Yes, there is a default setting but why do you care to add a header to
your outbound messages to request getting back read receipt e-mails
when your recipient have that option disabled or set to prompt them
(and they'll just say No to sending the read receipt e-mail)? Unless
you are sending e-mails internally within your own company that has an
e-mail policy that demands that all employees configure their e-mail
client to automatically send a read receipt whenever they are
requested for one, it is futile to ask anyone else to send you back a
read receipt. What, you've never heard of spam before? You really
want to send back a read receipt to authenticate to the spammer that
they reached your valid e-mail address so they can put you on the top
of their victim list and spam you even more?
Regardless of how Microsoft configures the default settings in their
e-mail clients, or however other e-mail program authors setup their
e-mail software on installation, every user I've dealt with
immediately configures their e-mail client to NOT return any read
receipt e-mails.
