Annoying MS Outlook feature.

If I get a message that required a read reciept, and click delete and "Do not send Read Receipt", it sends a damn message to the sender saying I deleted the message without reading it. W - T- F. Just noticed this by sending a message to myself through another account, and deleting it without reading.

Now, if a spammer sends out a few million messages to random email addresses with a "request read receipt", he's going to get back which email addresses are valid.

I don't mind them, don't think I've ever deleted them, but think its a bit dodge that Outlook just sends a mail when you delete an item.

I just disable them, then people can't see if I've read their mail or not.
