to yourself in the same e-mail account when you use
Outlook Express.
To be notified when your outgoing messages are received:
You can set up Outlook Express to display a receipt for e-mail
you send. The receipt is sent when the message recipient has
displayed your message. This is useful when you are sending
time-critical information, or any time you want confirmation
that your message has been received.
To request a receipt for individual messages:
In the new message window, on the Tools menu, click
Request Read Receipt.
To request a receipt for all messages:
On the Tools menu, click Options.
On the Receipts tab, select the Request a read receipt
for all sent messages check box.
