RE: Disabling Return Receipt Notification in lotus Notes
Thanks, Jeremy. For those of you using Microsoft Outlook, follow these steps
to disable request of or reply to these notifications by default. They may
not be exactly like these steps (which are for Outlook 2000), but you get
the idea:
Tools | Options...
on the Preferences tab, pick "E-mail Options..." button
on the subsequent dialogue box, pick "Tracking Options..." and uncheck:
Process requests and responses on arrival
Process receipts on arrival
Request a read receipt for all messages I send
Request a delivery receipt for all messages I send
If you really want to request a receipt for your message, you can still
request it on a per-message basis. How to do this is left as an exercise to
the interested readers.

Subject: Disabling Return Receipt Notification in lotus Notes
I have found an easy way to disable the Return Receipt Notifications
that we seem to be having problems with. This works for Lotus Notes 5:
1. Open the Create menu and choose Agent
2. Change the Name to "Disable Return Receipt Notification"
3. Change when should it run to "After new mail has arrived"
4. Click the "Add Action" button near the bottom
5. Choose "@Function Formula" in the Action box
6. Paste the text below into the box
FIELD ReturnReceipt:= ReturnReceipt;
FIELD Subject:= Subject;
@If(@IsAvailable(ReturnReceipt);
@If(ReturnReceipt = "1";
@Do(
@SetField("ReturnReceipt"; "0");
@SetField("Subject"; "** INFO: DISABLED \"Return Receipt\" ** " +
Subject)); ""); "");
SELECT @All
7. Hit Escape and select Save
Now whenever an email is received that requests a return receipt, the
subject will be
changed to include "** INFO: DISABLED "Return Receipt" ** "
at the start, and the return receipt will not be sent.

Re: Disabling Return Receipt Notification in lotus Notes
Jeremy,
This is a great script. Thanks a lot.
I tried it, and unfortunately for me, our IT department won't grant users privilege to create and run this type of agent. They feel that if a sender requests a receipt notification, then we have to send one out.
If the return receipt notification I generate is a problem for the Foxboro DCS Mail list, let me know, I'll just have to unsubscribe.
Take care,
Wally

RE: Disabling Return Receipt Notification in lotus Notes
I think also you want to choose the "Never send a response" radio button
pick on the bottom rather than the "Always send a reponse".
