setting read receipt property 1

[clientuser]

Is there a way in code to set the read receipt property in a outlook email message?

Hi!

A MailItem object has a ReadReceiptRequested property that can be set in VBA. Set this to true and you will get a read receipt.

Could you give an example of this?

Hi!

Sure can:

Dim OutlApp As New Outlook.Application
Dim NewOutLMailItem As Object
Dim MailAttachments As Object
Dim MailRecipients As Object

Set NewOutLMailItem = OutlApp.CreateItem(olMailItem)
NewOutLMailItem.Save
NewOutLMailItem.Body = "Your message here"
NewOutLMailItem.Subject = "Your subject here"
Set MailRecipients = NewOutLMailItem.Recipients
MailRecipients.Add "YourAddress@YourServer"
MailRecipients.Add "NextAddress@YourServer"
Set MailAttachments = NewOutLMailItem.Attachments
MailAttachments.Add "YourAttachmentPath", olbyvalue
MailAttachments.Add "NextAttachmentPath", olbyvalue
NewOutLMailItem.ReadReceiptRequested = True
NewOutLMailItem.Send

This should get you what you want.
