If you are patient, typing defaults read into the terminal will give you EVERYTHING. Parse through that with a text editor. See if you can find a key that looks likely, or has the value you noted.

Do you know, can I ditch this .plist preferences to get ride of this? Would is screw things up with mail?

Have a look in ~/Library/Preferences for com.apple.mail.plist and see if the relevant key is in there. Make sure Mail is not running, then edit this file to remove that key and its value. Make sure to keep a backup of the original value, and use a programmer’s text editor to make the changes. You have to follow the rules of XML: remove a complete tag or tag tree, don’t leave any un-balanced hanging tags anywhere.

Hi Walter,
There’s no match to anything useful when searching in ‘defaults read’.
However looking in mail preferences theres a .plist file… com.apple.mail.plist is mentioned…

Would all this be removed or leave 'UserHeaders’ in?

Only leave UserHeaders there if there are other children following it. Otherwise, remove the key and the dict it references.

I saw a few posts online in regards to removing read receipts in Apple Mail using Terminal.
I enabled this on an old email address but have since changed to a new address but can’t seem to stop the receipts being sent to old address. I believe I have tried everything. I wondered if you had any thoughts on this. I simple want to stop the receipts from going to the old address and enable receipts on the new address.
I’d be grateful for any assistance.
