Use both Outlook 2000 and 2003. Didn't know '03 would ask my recipients if they wanted to reply. 2000 doesn't. Very embarrassing. Why the change
Same problem with signatures. 2000 was a one-click 'insert' and now the closest I get is either a signature that shows up on every new email (which I have to turn off) or an auto-format signature that I can't edit. Any suggestions
 
Please explain what you're talking about regarding receipts. That doesn't
ring a bell.

Signatures are easy. You're using WordMail as the editor, right? Create a
blank signature and make it your default. You can then right click that area
and choose a different signature to insert it. (Or go the other way: Insert
a real signature as the default, but have a blank signature that you can
choose with a right-click.) You can also use AutoText in WordMail to insert
signatures.

In Outlook 2000 you can request a 'Read Receipt' that lets you know when the message has been read. Period.
In Outlook 2003 you can request a 'Read Receipt' and Outlook shows a dialogue box to the recipient, asking if they want to send a 'read receipt'. If they choose 'no', I can only guess whether the message was opened, deleted before being read, deleted after being read, or just languishing somewhere in an Inbox. A 'delivery receipt' doesn't do the job
I no longer have a read receipt for a document confirming that it has, in fact, been opened, which is when my responsibility for the information ends.
Any solutions? Or options that I coudn't find
Thank
 
No, you can't control whether the recipient has a choice of allowing the
read receipt to return.

Imagine spammers sending all their mail with read-receipts that you had no
control over to see why this is considered a privacy violation...
