Read reciepts are not foolproof , outlook does not send them if it is previewed instead of opened , but it gives you some idea of if the person has at least skimmed it . Am I the only one forever playing catch up with technology , while all the juicy opportunites keep rolling by ?

if you didnt find from vs6, then download ms sdk... http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/

NT ships with rexec.exe - maybe that would do it...
