I tried Thunderbird a couple of years ago and hated it. Their web browser, Firefox, was good until it kept crashing all the time so I removed it as well. Mozilla products are on my list of programs to avoid.
I never switched to later versions of Microsoft Office because they became user unfriendly by taking away features I liked in the 2000 version. Actually I like Open Office better, which is free, but it doesn't have email software. I will look and see if I can turn them off, but I think the turning off should be done from those requesting the receipts. I just think the two subscribers should be aware that some of us are getting these messages and they are unnecessary. I belong to a number of other lists and never receive these so perhaps those email systems eliminate these messages entirely. Save the return receipts for the post office. They hold up better in court than emails as I know from previous experience in court. -----Original Message----- From: k...@legacyfamilytree.com [mailto:k...@legacyfamilytree.com]on Behalf Of Gene Young Sent: Sunday, November 01, 2009 1:47 PM To: LegacyUserGroup@legacyfamilytree.com Subject: Re: [LegacyUG] Read Receipt for Message William H.

Ignoring them is always the best policy as spammers and phishers will utilize them to verify a live email address which they then hammer and sell to other spammers. If you can not turn off automatic responses to read receipts in Outlook 2000 I would strongly suggest changing your email client to Thunderbird or any other client that allows this. I suggest Thunderbird because it is free and works very well. -- Gene Y. http://myyoungs.atspace.com/index.htm Researching Young, Zies, Harer & Cox with Legacy Family Tree Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp Legacy User Group guidelines: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Etiquette.asp Archived messages: http://www.mail-archive.com/legacyusergroup@legacyfamilytree.com/ Online technical support: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/Help.asp To unsubscribe: http://www.LegacyFamilyTree.com/LegacyLists.asp
