disable read reciept notification in Lotus Notes?

[THELAIR]

I can do it in MS outlook/express, but does anyone here use lotus notes? There is no option to disable read reciepts.

Lotus Notes is the most horrible mail software ever written! :|

Do you want to disable you sending out receipts or do you want to disable allowing them to be sent if you read a mail that has one attached?

Every so often when I recieve an email that has a read receipt request on it, it will cause an error on my end. Not always, but every so often i get a GPF from it in lotus notes. This is one of hte more recent versions R5 I think.

I know how to disable it in Outlook, but unless there is a registry hack or some hidden option somewhere I don't see it on my end.

Thanks

One way: Replicate your mail to local. Set yourself to offline mode. Read your mail. Go into mail.box (it's a db) and delete any outbound receipts. Set yourself back to online mode (original location document).

Another way: (may not work w/ all versions of client) View documents in preview mode. Make sure you don't have mark docs as read when previewed in the user preferences.

Another way: Create an agent to run on all your incoming mail use forumula:
FIELD ReturnReceipt := @DeleteField;
-> You could modify your inbox view (create a new view) to have an icon for mail that has a return receipt and then run an agent on just those messages if you don't want to disable all return receipts.

...search is your friend.

That said, It defeats the purpose of having return receipt option if people can disable it, so, it's not supposed to be disabled. Sometimes though, it is nice to be able to prevent it from going out.

Ciao.

You might have a corrupt maildatabase or template. If it's on local, try making a new replica and deleting the original. If you are using a server copy, ask your admin to create a new copy / replica for you. Or exit notes, delete (or rename) mail.box, and restart. While you are at it, you can also rename / delete qnc.exe which is a debugger for notes and generally of no value unless you are a developer or send your crashes into lotus. QNC -U (?) unloads IIRC and sometimes helps to disable it and it won't cause problems not being there.
