1286.0. "Interactive Read Receipt Confirm?" by DEKVC::DAEHEEKIM () Fri Aug 21 1992 03:09

    Hello.
    
    As you know,we can confirm the Receiver's reading operation using
    Read receipt(managed by POSTMASTER).
    
    But I want to use the read-confirm interactively as follows.

1286.1	Sending or receiving?	FORTY2::ASH	Grahame Ash @REO	`Fri Aug 21 1992 09:49`	14
	In the last column of your display, do you want to record that you have ASKED for a read receipt, or that you have RECEIVED one? If it's ASKED, then that's easy - just get the RR field from CAB$. If you want to see if you've received a RR, then you've got a lot of work to do! (You'd need an line for each recipient, and some sort of function which can read each of your incoming messages and check to see if they're RRs and who they're from. Unfortunately, ALL-IN-1 doesn't receive read receipts in MRIF format - they arrive as ordinary text messages). However, maybe someone's done all this already, so I'll move over. grahame
1286.2	Misunderstanding about previous request..Answer again	DEKVC::DAEHEEKIM		`Mon Aug 24 1992 01:26`	12
	Maybe there is a misunderstanding about my request. I want to display whether the Receiver read the mail or not,not whether I asked Read_Receipt or not. Until now , we requested READ_RECEIPT on each mail , and POSTMASTER send a read_receipt mail to the Original Author in the batch mode. But our customer asked me , how can they display the information - at least one of the Receivers read the mail or not - interactively without setting the READ_RECEIPT field 'YES'. - DaeHee
1286.3	no?	FORTY2::ASH	Grahame Ash @REO	`Mon Aug 24 1992 10:11`	15
	Well, it looks to me that the answer is No. The only way of discovering if a recipient has read a message (and this is not fully accurate anyway) is to ask for a read-receipt and then get one. If mail is going out via Message Router, how does the customer think you can get interactive access? If the customer is worried that the sender should not HAVE to set read-receipt request, then you can customise the mail header forms so that Y is the default. But you will still have the problem of matching the read recepit with the message which asked for it. Sorry (I hope I've understood what you are asking for) grahame
1286.4	Possible	IOSG::TALLETT	Arranging bits for a living...	`Tue Aug 25 1992 08:07`	7
	Am I mixing this up, or is this the X.400 read receipt collation feature? If so, you'll possibly get it if we possibly were to support all the X.400 features in a possible future release. Regards, Paul
1286.5	It has been done, somewhere	IOSG::SHOVE	Dave Shove -- REO-D/3C	`Tue Aug 25 1992 16:31`	9
	Someone has done this (provide a reciept correlation feature using our current read receipts). Sorry, but I can't remeber who - it was mentioned at a US DECUS some time ago. Maybe this will jog someone's memory? D.
