Description Akhil Laddha 2011-08-18 06:37:34 UTC 
1. New -> Mail message
2. Enable Menu -> Insert -> request read receipt
3. Send message

1) On receiving end, evolution doesn't show that message has been requested for read receipt.

2) If i send read receipt from owa or outlook, evolution shows an attachment with receipt.

Known bug, will be handled

This is a behaviour of Evolution and is not part of our scope.

I do not agree.

This requires to set/get IsReadReceiptRequested on the message, but it's tricky, because the documentation [1] of it says:
> If IsReadReceiptRequested is true, setting IsRead to true sends a read
> receipt. The recipient can suppress read receipts by submitting
> the SuppressReadReceipt response object before setting the IsRead property.

Thus this also requires to implement SuppressReadReceipt and let evolution handle the sending of the notification on its own (it'll look differently than the one form Exchange server, but that might not be an issue).
