XCLN: Messages Marked as Read when Moved from Client

Last reviewed: March 31, 1997
Article ID: Q148421

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Exchange Windows NT client, versions 4.0 and 5.0

SYMPTOMS

When you drag an unread message, note, or document from the Windows 95 Exchange client onto either the Microsoft Windows 95 desktop or a folder not in the Windows 95 Exchange client, the original message becomes read.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design.

This is necessary in order to properly handle the read receipts. Once the message leaves the Windows 95 Exchange client (for example, either moved or copied from the Windows 95 Exchange client to another location), the receipt tracking is lost.
