Read Reciept feature in MS Outlook 2002

[Suket Sinha]

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for the info. I had gone through the mentioned
document. The problem is that when using Microsoft Outlook
and
Exchange, I am not getting "Original-Message-ID" field.
In the 'rfc2298' its mentioned to set 3 fields for
requesting MDN:
1) Disposition-Notification-To
2) Disposition-Notification-Options
3) Original-Recipient

( Not mentioned about all 3 being compulsary). My
application is currently updating only the header 1).

Tried putting values for 2) & 3) as well but without
any success.

Can you provide some insight on this.

Regards,
Suket

You're looking for Netscape-specific things in the message. What you should
be doing is looking for messages with a Content-Type of "multipart/report"
and a Report-Type of "disposition-notification". The message id of the
original message will be in the "Original-Message-ID" field. See
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2298.txt for the format of read-receipts (known
in the Internet standards as "message disposition notifications").

Outlook generates both Original-Message-ID and In-Reply-To in read receipts
when sending the receipt via SMTP. However if a user sends a read-receipt
when reading mail in Outlook working against an Exchange server with an
Exchange account, Outlook asks Exchange to generate and send the
read-receipt. If you're not getting these fields, it is probably because
Exchange is not generating them - I'd suggest going to one of the Exchange
newsgroups and asking there.

By the way, I'm glad you brought this up - I tried this in Outlook 2003 to
verify that we're writing the proper fields and discovered that in the work
to make Outlook use Unicode a bug had been introduced that caused us to
write a malformed field in Original-Message-ID.
