Entourage, by default, won't even ask you to send return receipts if any message requests them. It simply isn't supported, unlike Outlook for Windows which would prompt you. You could create a rule to do this. Go to Tools -> Rules, then click the Mail tab, then click New on the toolbar. * Execute actions if all criteria are met IF Specific Header "Disposition-Notification-To" Exists IF From Is in Address Book THEN Display Dialog AND/OR THEN Reply (reply text would be the receipt sent automatically) Perhaps this is scriptable so that if a message came in with this header, it would prompt you as to whether you wanted to send a receipt. One could run a rule with the same criteria with an action of "Run AppleScript" instead. I'm not sure about this though. -- Mickey Stevens (Microsoft MVP for Office:mac) PowerPoint FAQ featuring PowerPoint:mac: <http://www.pptfaq.com/> The Entourage Help Page: <http://www.entourage.mvps.org/> -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
