PC MAPI: No Subject or Message Text with Return Receipt

 Last reviewed: November 1, 1995
Article ID: Q107356
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Mail Windows, version 3.2

SYMPTOMS

When you send a message using the Messaging Application Program Interface (MAPI) MAPI_RECEIPT_REQUESTED flag in the MAPIMessage structure, the receipt that is returned will include a subject field that includes the following text: 

   Registered: <sendee>
The message text field will be blank.

CAUSE

Unlike Microsoft Mail for Windows, MAPI does not provide any information in the return-receipt message that was originally supplied in the subject field of a sent message. The subject field in the Mail Windows client will be exactly the same as the MAPI field above, but also included on the form is the subject line that was sent with a return-receipt requested message. MAPI cannot provide a way to track unique information other than to whom the return-receipt requested message was sent.
