PM Return Receipt Marked by Default

[Eq4bits]

For the life of me I *know* I saw instructions here *somewhere* for having the 'request return/read receipt' marked as default for Private Messages. I've run searches for everything I can thing of for naught. Isn't it just a simple template edit? Only moderators and admin have the option of requesting read receipts but most of the time we forget to check it off when sending 'official' pm's. I'm running 3.6.7 PL1.

you can edit the pm_newpm template

this is what mine is showing (pm_newpm template)
<if condition="$show['trackpm']"><div><label for="cb_receipt"><input type="checkbox" name="receipt" value="1" id="cb_receipt" $checked[receipt] />$vbphrase[request_receipt_for_message]</label></div></if>
my other options (i.e. save copy to sent folder, show signature,) that are marked/checked by default have the same 'value='1' and there is indeed a check in the box beside those options but NOT for the return receipt... would it have a different value number to show?

oh I suppose I should add that only moderators on my board can send return receipts, I had to take it away from the regulars because they NEVER cleared their receipts out... *grumbles* much like they don't clear out their pm's they've sent and received....

replace $checked[receipt] with checked="checked"

Thank you!
