SYMPTOMS
When you create a rule to forward messages that are delivery or read receipts by using the Outlook Rules Wizard, the delivery or read receipt does not forward.



CAUSE
This behavior occurs because the Rules Wizard does not forward delivery or read receipts by design. This prevents Outlook from looping situations where a rule sends a message that can cause the rule to execute again.



WORKAROUND
Use the information in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base articles to create a programmatic work around that will forward delivery and read receipts:
