Outlook Rule to Turn Off Request Read Receipt on Incoming Messages
I monitor a forum on which there is one member who regularly uses the "Request a Read Receipt" option on said forum. It's annoying.
How can I, using a rule and possibly some VBA code, disable the read receipt option before the email hits my in box?
Using Outlook 2010 and Microsoft's Online Exchange service.

>You can't run a rule before the item hits your inbox.
Actually, you can. the rule runs as the message is being received and you can direct the message - via the rule - to go to any folder - which is exactly what I am doing with these messages from this forum.
But that's just a technicality. In actuality I was being a bit silly since the moment of impact on my mood happens when I read the email and see that annoying prompt, not when it hits my in box or any other folder.
I'll try setting the setting. Unfortunately, I think I would then miss a legitimate read notification. Although, now that I think of it, the only other time I get a read notification prompt is when my ex-wife sends me an "important" email and I always click "no" then too ;-)
