What do you think of them - are they any use?
Given the choice, do you allow the reciept to be sent or do you block it?
Why do some people request a reciept for every single email they send?

I block them every single time, without favour. I don’t know why I am so determined to do that though. I guess I feel like I’m being checked up on or something.
They do have a use, sometimes. When I need to make sure that an e-mail was at least delivered (whether it’s a time sensitive item, or just important enough that I need to know the person at least got it), I’ll use a read receipt. But not every e-mail needs one, so I pick and choose when I’ll request one.
At work, I have Outlook set up to notify me before sending one, and most of the time I’ll deny the request. Again, when it’s something that I know the sender wants to be aware that I’ve read, then sure, I’ll let one go.
Why some people request one for every e-mail, I have no idea. Maybe they’ve set it to the default and just forget about it. For those people I’ll not send a read receipt 19 times out of 20, because most of their stuff isn’t that important.
I don’t care for them. My mother-in-law has her email program set to request each time, and I comply with hers. Seems the recent spam trend is to get a read receipt - and I have my program set to ask whether or not to send it, so I always deny.
I always deny, without fail.
I have my e-mail set to always request a read receipt, but only at work, where it’s important that I know if an e-mail has been read or not.
At home, I don’t bother.
I only know a couple people who do it (and for them, it’s every e-mail). I don’t get it, but if they want to know badly enough, it’s no skin off my nose to tell them.
