Text/MMS read reciepts

[sHockz]

This is totally my opinion, but isnt this privacy invasive? could be me, but if someone was having read receipts sent back to their phone everytime I read their txt message I would be extremely pissed. Who knows, maybe you have some business need for it...I don't know, but friend to friend it just seems...invasive

knowing someone received your message is invasive? i know on my samsung the message gets a check mark next to it when its been delivered.

being delivered is one thing. having a text message sent back to you when that person reads what you wrote is invasive.

assume for one second that I am busy at work, and I do not have time to talk to my gf. She sends me some stupid text about her hairdresser appointment and wants me to respond. instead she gets a txt saying i read it, but never gets a response from me...because I am to busy to even mess with that. Now I have a pissed off girlfriend who thinks I am avoiding her and having sex with every other girl in the world because i didnt answer her.
i realize my example sucks, but you get the point.

invasive? absolutely.

but like i said, he may have some business need for it. maybe he is sending emergency meeting requests to multiple users and wants to know who got the message or not....I dont know. But in my eyes, a feature like that is evil.

Go to your POutlook, push Tools->Options, Text Messages. Try there.

Well keep in mind this is a receipt sent to the original sender only because it was delevered. No one is saying it was read. So there is a big difference there. Even in MS Outlook there is only a delivery receipt sent back automatically. Now they can ask for a read receipt and you can send it or not. Again, there is a difference so relax because ur GF wont be pissed at you for that, maybe something else, but not that.

lol. That was the first place I checked. That is the same location that option was available on my 760, but alas, not my 6800. Thanks.

I would definately agree with you, however I must admit that my choice of words were poorly used and believe that my question may have been misleading. I should have said delivery and not read.

Hmm it works here. Maybe you could try a nice WM 6.1 ROM.

lol. Maybe I am missing somthing. I go to Outlook/Menu/tools/options/SMS-MMS/ The only optioon I have on 6.1 at this point is (Always send a callback number)

Thanks

Odd. Try an aftermarket ROM. GaMedic posted his selections.txt from BuildOS a while ago.
