You can use the NewInspector event. Then check Inspector.CurrentItem whether
the item is an e-mail at all and maybe who the sender is. If you want to
reply to that message then call CurrentItem.Reply, which returns a new
MailItem.

I know that a sender of an email can request a read receipt

However, is it possible to automatically send a reply when the recipient
opens the email?

For example; emails arrive in my InBox during the day, none of which have
a
read receipt requested by the sender.
When I open one of these emails, I would like my Outlook to automatically
send a brief email to the orginal sender of the email notifying them that
the
email had been read.

Although I am familiar with VBA for Word and Excel, I am a complete novice
when it comes to Outlook

Thanks for your help
