What is the smartest way of obtaining the Read date for a mail message? A customer was intending implementing this by reinstating DO as a valid parameter to MAIL FUNCTION. I have advised against this but can only suggest a check in R/RN named data for MAIL_STATUS = UNREAD and store the date then. Read receipts contain the read date and time I am not sure how this is implemented. Thanks for any suggestions. Aston Clarke UK CSC

This is done by the Read New code, which issues the receipt as the user finishes reading the message. It's generated using rrtemplat.blp, which just pulls in the current time. I'm not exactly sure where you want to store the 'read' time? grahame | |||||

The application is maintaining a database of when certain mails are sent and then first read. I think this is being held in a data file accessed by an ALL-IN-1 entry form. We could easily perform this customisation through the mail menus or boilerplates but the cust really wanted to keep the application separate. The use of "mail function do" with an associated application script would have been ideal. Thanks Aston Clarke UK CSC | |||||
