Welcome to Delta Chat!
A read receipt should be sent if both chat partners have enabled it in
the settings.
However, not to confuse the user with hundreds of read receipts, Delta
Chat automatically marks them as seen and moves them to the "DeltaChat"
folder in your mailbox, so have a look there.
Read messages then get two checkmarks, just as you know it from other
messengers.
Does this explain the confusion?

Hello,
I've been experiencing a strange problem with delta for quite a while
now: even though I've selected the option to *send* so called "read
receipts" I am not receiving them since at least June or so.
The strange thing is that instead my client(s) *do* send out receipt
upon on read events!
Initially I've attributed the thing to
https://github.com/deltachat/deltachat-core-rust/issues/1610 but seen
that the bug seems long gone, I suspect something else is going on.
To dig a little deeper I need some extra info: I've looked at some
messages and it seems libdelta sends out an extra
"Disposition-Notification" header only to *non* delta chat clients.
How the "receiptiviness" if you allow me term :) is negotiated between
clients? Does libdelta send some extra info only upon change setting
events?
I should probably add that I've also experienced a really bad upgrade
back in August because F-Droid did bump the version to a major one
after months and the process did not went well, no messages were
received and I had to resort by making a backup, and importing the
thing after an installation from the Play Store.
Do libdelta checks data integrity/correct format before importing? I
don't think this is the cause but am wondering if the backup was
"somehow" corrupt.
Thanks.
