Read Receipts

If I receive an email from an outside contact (no in my domain) and they
request a read receipt and I click No to send the receipt. Will they see that
I have answered No?

Thank you in advance for your help.

No. The point of clicking on "No" is to prevent your client from sending a
response to the request. Nothing sent, the sender has no idea what happened.
This is why requiring read receipts is unreliable.

Why not configure your unidentified version of Outlook to ignore all
requests for read receipts? Then you don't even have to answer No.

No. When you say you don't want a read receipt sent, then the original sender
won't know anything because nothing gets back to him or her.
