SYMPTOMS
When an X.400 mail user requests a read receipt for a message sent to a
Microsoft Mail user, the receipt is not an X.400 receipt notification. If
the Microsoft Mail Windows client is used, a new message with the following
text will be sent:
Microsoft Mail v3.0 IPM.Microsoft Mail.Read Receipt
From: Administrator
Date sent: 1995-04-20 13:07
To: John DOE (local)
Subject: Return Receipt: Administrator
Your Message To: Administrator(MS:MICROSOFT/SUPPORT/Admin)
Entitled: Test message
And Sent On: 1995-04-20 13:07
Was Read At: 1995-04-20 13:07
Priority: C
The fact that this is not a native X.400 receipt notification means
that the foreign mail client cannot automatically associate it with
the original message.
CAUSE
The CCITT X.400 recommendations contain a service element called Receipt
Notification as a nonessential option. The Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400
does not support this service on outgoing mail.
