What things cause it to autogenerate a reply

Hi,

I'm trying to find a list of things that could potentially cause
Outlook to generate a reply to you. I know that if you request a
return/read receipt, and the user has elected to do so, it will. But
are there other things that can cause it to generate a reply, either
configurable by the user or not.

I've seen some programs will generate a message on message
cancellation requests, does Outlook do this?

Are there any other things, like malformed emails or other things
that do?

Please CC me on replies if at all possible.

Thanks, Tuc/TTSG Internet Services, Inc.

Delivery receipts are generated by the mail server and are not configurable
by the client.

Sorry, then I meant read receipts. I know one of the three of :

Return-Receipt-To: <[email protected]>
X-Confirm-Reading-To: <[email protected]>
Disposition-Notification-To: <[email protected]>

Gets it to generate one if the user has that ability turned on.

But what else will get it to generate a reply,
good/bad/indifferent?
I'm looking at "Message Recall" but can't find the specs on how to
format the message.

Is there anything else, either of that nature or even a "You did
a bad thing" that it will generate?
