Outlook Tip - Have a Send with Read Receipt Button

Hey,

I wanted to share an awesome little trick with Outlook. If you send emails with read receipts often but don't want to click on Options and click that checkbox everytime.

Put this VBA code in a separate module in Outlook (Press ALT+F11 to access VBA editor):

Sub SendWithReadReceipt()
On Error GoTo Cleanup
If Application.ActiveWindow.CurrentItem.Class = olMail Then
Application.ActiveWindow.CurrentItem.ReadReceiptRequested = True
Application.ActiveWindow.CurrentItem.Send
Exit Sub
End If
Cleanup:
End Sub

P.S. You will need to change your Email to not use Word as the default email editor otherwise it wont work
