SYMPTOMS
When an X.400 mail user requests a read receipt for a message sent to a Microsoft Mail user, the receipt is not an X.400 receipt notification. If the Microsoft Mail Windows client is used, a new message with the following text will be sent:

Microsoft Mail v3.0 IPM.Microsoft Mail.Read Receipt

From: Administrator

Date sent: 1995-04-20 13:07

To: John DOE (local)

Subject: Return Receipt: Administrator

Your Message To: Administrator(MS:MICROSOFT/SUPPORT/Admin)

Entitled: Test message

And Sent On: 1995-04-20 13:07

Was Read At: 1995-04-20 13:07

Priority: C

The fact that this is not a native X.400 receipt notification means that the foreign mail client cannot automatically associate it with the original message.



CAUSE
The CCITT X.400 recommendations contain a service element called Receipt Notification as a nonessential option. The Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400 does not support this service on outgoing mail.
