Need read receipts

Mobile working, Asynchronous working of teams is a common phenomena. Read receipts let us know if the message has been seen, so we know it can be acted on. Critical when large numbers of the team are mainly mobile workers.

Sadly, work on this has stopped and been reprioritized. It is on the backlog for now.

I’m sorry folks! I’ll continue to include this in my internal reporting as a highly requested user item.

In progress! You’ll see it while Seattle is still rain-free this summer.

Any indication on when this feature will be rolling out?

Read Receipt follow what is done with mail; i.e. it should require more than just being presented on the users screen. The user should either have to click something to generate the read receipt or click OK on a OK/Cancel dialog asking "Do you want to send a read receipt for message ***?".

A message should have a visual indication when it is marked with read receipt with different presentation for read receipt requested and read receipt sent. You would only prompt to send a read receipt if the message was marked as unread and a read receipt has not already been sent. Users would need the ability to manually send a receipt if one was requested and has not been sent (via more....)

Workaround: A way to do this now is to have users Like a message to acknowledge they've read it or performed some action. The advantage to that is that it doesn't generate new activity and noise for everyone, as happens if people post "read it" or "did it" responses. I explicitly put a request message at the end of a post to request this be done and to make clear whether "like" means read or done, e.g.:

Please add your vacation days to the team calendar so I can create on call schedules for December. Like this message when done with your calendar entries.

I can then hover the Like glyph to see who has completed the action. This obviously doesn't scale well, more than a dozen or so users is probably not very manageable.
