This article discusses a Beta test product that is not yet announced or released publicly by Microsoft. Please feel free to familiarize yourself with this product, test it, and report problems to Microsoft.

SYMPTOMS

After you set up a rule that automatically moves an incoming message to a folder in Personal Folders, and you turn on the Ask me before sending a response option, when you send a message to yourself and request delivery and read receipts, you may receive a receipt without being asked.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because the receipt you receive is the delivery receipt. The Ask me before sending a response option applies only to the read receipt.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, double-click the message in the appropriate folder. The resulting prompt asks whether you want to send a read receipt response.
