If I turn off my read receipts to read a message, and then delete the entire thread (without responding), will it show up as being read?

I'm not sure I understand the question. Read receipts let you know when someone else has read an email you sent to them. It doesn't tell you anything about an email YOU have read in your inbox. How it shows up in THEIR inbox is up to them.
Somebody sent me an imessage, but I don't want them to know I've read it, and I usually keep my read receipts on. If I turn off my read receipts to read their imessage, and then delete the imessage thread right away, will it show up on their end as being read once I turn my receipts on? Even if I delete the whole thread from my end?
Now I understand! Good question, I never thought about it that way. I would think once you deleted the message/thread (with read receipts turned off) that it would no longer show up on their end (even if you turned it back on afterwards). But I don't know for sure. If it did send a receipt, I would think that is a major privacy flaw. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can give a definitive answer.

Why don't you just do the experiment with someone who's willing to help.
One more reason I never keep that feature turned on. I never have to worry about stuff lie this. I figure that, when I reply, people will know I've read the message.
If I turn off read receipts, read the message, then delete the thread and turn them back on, will it show as being read?
