Here are a few ways you can view and/or Delete the return receipt in your mail. Take a look at all of them and decide which one fit’s your needs.___________________________________________________

This tip will allow you to decide if you would like to send a return

receipt with your outgoing mail. Use the instructions and code to

configure your system for the return receipt option.

  1. To use this code you will need to open your mail file in designer.

  2. Select the ($Inbox) Folder, and edit it.

  3. Select Queryopendocument, Change to Formula code and enter the

Code below.

Code

@If(@IsAvailable(ReturnReceipt);

@If(ReturnReceipt = “1”;

  @If(@Prompt([YesNo];"Return Receipt";

     "Delete Return Receipt?");

     @SetField("ReturnReceipt";"0");

  "");

“”);

“”)

The code below is from the subject column of the inbox folder. Note that

the “return receipt” value is added to the subject for display only; it

is not stored in the subject field at all, but is actually the form

name. As the form name is not available for rule selection, I don’t see

any way of deleting them with a rule.

However, you should point out to your boss that enabling return receipt

on all e-mail will generate a lot more mail and SMTP traffic. At the

same time, users will not always receive a return receipt, as it is the

responsibility of the receiving mail server to send it, and not all mail

administrators turn on this option.

Here is the code I mentioned above:

@If( form = "NonDelivery Report" & (!@IsAvailable(SMTPDSNType) |

SMTPDSNType = “0”); "DELIVERY FAILURE: " + FailureReason;

form = "NonDelivery Report" & @IsAvailable(SMTPDSNType) &

SMPTDSNType != “0”; "DELIVERY NOTIFICATION: " + FailureReason;

Form = "Delivery Report"; "DELIVERED: " + Subject;

Form = "Return Receipt"; "RECEIVED: " + Subject;

Form = "ReturnNonReceipt"; "NOT RECEIVED: " + Subject;

Subject)

–

use this formula for a one character wide no title column.

REM {This column shows the secret agent dude when there is a request for

a ReturnRecipt};

@If(ReturnReceipt=“1”;163;0)

Then I follow it up with an menu agent.

Remove Return Receipt

FIELD ReturnReceipt := @DeleteField;SELECT @All

In User Preferences, Basics, Additional Options section, there is an option to ‘Mark documents read when opened in preview pane’. Perhaps the return receipt would not be sent if that option is not selected. Haven’t tested it.

Well, the return receipt won’t be sent if you only read it in the preview pane, but if you open the message, off it goes.

I believe the age-old trick of reading the message via the Forward or Reply with History buttons works in all releases, since the original poster cited all of 'em.
