Ahh. You obviously mis-understand my comments.
Besides, what is the point of a delivery message to send to the carrier? 
It doesn't provide any value to the user over the message on the phone 
saying 'your message was sent'.  That would be confirmation to me that 
the carrier got the message. In fact, on my sidekick 2, if the message 
could not be sent for some reason then I get a message saying it could 
not be sent, I.E.  The carrier didn't get it.

In either case, I always turn off any kind of receipt regardless of 
program.
