ReadReceipt Property (Message Object)

The ReadReceipt property is True if a read-receipt notification message is requested. Read/write.

Syntax

objMessage.ReadReceipt

Data Type

Boolean

Remarks

Set the ReadReceipt property to True to obtain a notification message when each recipient reads your message. The default setting is False.

Each message store that receives your message sends you an individual read notification each time one of the recipients sets the read flag on the message. Note that the read flag being set does not imply that the recipient has physically read the message. Move and copy operations, for example, typically set the read flag.

Notification requests include the DeliveryReceipt and ReadReceipt properties. For more information, see Making Sure The Message Gets There.

Not all transport providers support notification requests.

The ReadReceipt property corresponds to the MAPI property PR_READ_RECEIPT_REQUESTED. It can be rendered into HTML hypertext using the CDO Rendering ObjectRenderer object. To specify this, set the object renderer's DataSource property to this Message object and the property parameter of the RenderProperty method to CdoPR_READ_RECEIPT_REQUESTED.
