I'm using VBA to send emails a fair bit. Someone has requested that I create a form to send emailed notifications to certain people and then record when each email is read.
The problems I have are that
1. Outlook (which is the email software the company uses) allows you to choose whether or not to send a read receipt. This defeats the object, since some of those being sent the emails are notorious for just refusing to send the read receipt, ignoring the request in the email if they choose to, then pretending they never received it.
2. Even those who allow the receipts to be sent are going to get annoyed if they keep being prompted.
I'm hoping to find some method using VBA that bypasses the prompt and just lets me know that each email has been read.
