In the sender notification dfialog box that says "The sender of this message has asked to be notified when you read this message. Do you wish to notify the sender?" the two buttons are labelled OK-Cancel.

These labels are incorrect and unclear. Cancel is especially unclear. Does it mean cancel notifying? Does it mean cancel reading? Will I be asked again? OK-Cancel is vastly overused today. The proper labels for these buttons are soiimething like

"Notify Sender/Don't Notify Sender"

That is each button should clearly state *on the button* what pressing it accomplishes.

This is far from the worst example of this mistake I've seen, but it's an easy fix to make.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Read a message where the sender has requested to be notified.
Actual Results:  
OK/Cancel

Expected Results:  
Notify/Don't Notify
