Unlike some companies out there, I don't care WHEN, WHERE, or HOW you read a Lockergnome newsletter -- just as long as you read it. Your friend, on the other hand, may never look at the messages you send her. Or does she? There's one way to find out: use a Read Receipt. In Outlook Express, this feature can be turned on in the Options dialog (under the Receipts tab). In Outlook 2000, choose "Options" in the "Tools" menu, press the "E-mail Options" button under the "Preferences" tab, then enter into the "Tracking Options" property sheet. You can also add a "Receipt Requested" field to your Outlook 2000 message pane to see if anybody is trying to track YOUR usage. Right-click on any visible field (To, From, Date, Subject, etc.), select "Field Chooser" from the context menu. Then, in the new dialog's drop-down field, select "All Mail fields." Drag & drop the "Receipt Requested" bar in between fields in your column header. Resize it accordingly, and see if anybody's had their eye on you. As long as you're not trying to dodge anyone, there's nothing to worry about.
