The information in this article applies to:

- Microsoft Exchange Windows 95/98 client, versions 4.0, 5.0 
- Microsoft Exchange Windows 3.x client, versions 4.0, 5.0 
- Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0, 5.0 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SYMPTOMS
========

When disabling deliver/read receipt after having it on for a period of time, you
may continue to receive deliver/read receipt messages.

Receipt messages can be enabled/disabled by using the Option item on the Tools
menu. In the Send tab and there are two options: request a receipt when the item
has been read and request a receipt when the item has been delivered

CAUSE
=====

This is by design. Although you have turned off Deliver/Read Receipt, if you
have messages that were created prior to turning off these options then the
notification messages will still appear. This is because these attributes are
applied to the message at compose time not at send time
