Article ID: Q131523
The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft Mail for Windows, version 3.0b

SYMPTOMS

A Microsoft Mail for Windows user can select the option to receive a return receipt message. Normally, this will generate a return receipt message in the form of a postcard that displays the date and time the message was opened by the recipient. However, in certain cases a standard message will be generated.

CAUSE

When the receiving client is MS-DOS workstation, the sender will receive a message with a body such as the following: 

    [013]             ***** Read receipt from a registered message *****
   Your message:

   To:    Administrator                                   Date: 04-26-95
   Subject:     Test message                              Time: 7:49

                        Was read 04-26-95 17:49
When the user reads the message using Mail for Windows in a different language version (for example, the French version), the sender will receive a text only message with a body such as the following:
