If you request both a read receipt and a delivery receipt for messages that you send, and then send messages using your Hotmail account, you receive a read receipt, but you do not receive a delivery receipt.

This behavior occurs because Hotmail does not support delivery receipts.

2.	Click E-mail Options.
3.	Click Tracking Options.
4.	Click to select the Request a read receipt for all messages I send check box, and then click OK.
