Hi All,

I'm looking for a way to programmatically turn off the read receipt in
Outlook 2000, using VB. I have an Excel spreadsheet, which the customer
wants emailed to them line by line (I think this guy really loves spam, even
though we are not spamming, beats me!!). But upon sending 200-300 emails, I
get the read receipts from all of them. I'd rather not turn off this option
in the general settings as I use the read receipts for daily stuff, and I
transfer the Excel spreadhsset to other users in the company to (so I can't
get to all theirs and turn off their general settings.

Is there a means of turning this option OFF as I create the mail item? Also
on this subject, can I turn off or delete the same message that ends up in
my Sent Items folder using VB as well (or is this just a matter of
traversing the folder and deleting?).

Cheers,

Richard.
 
Thanks Sue, that's what I was after. Is there a similar propety for the
message appearing in the Sent Items folder?
 
When in doubt, check the object browser: Press ALt+F11 to open the VBA
environment in Outlook, then press F2. Switch from <All Libraries> to
Outlook to browse all Outlook objects and their properties, methods, and
events.
