    Even with “Never send a read receipt” checked, receipts are still being sent.
    Changed to “Ask each time whether to send a read receipt”, but receipts are still being sent.

    Something is changed/broken

    Same thing happening here (in 6/2015) as happened with Name in 7/2014 via Outlook 2010 on a PC. “Never send a read receipt” is checked but receipts are still being sent.
