SYMPTOMS
When a Microsoft Mail for AppleTalk Networks sends a message to a Microsoft Exchange Server user and requests a read receipt, the AppleTalk connector returns a text message like this:

  To: AppleTalk User

Microsoft Mail v3.0 IPM.Microsoft Mail.Read Receipt From: Exchange User Date sent: 1996-10-31 16:48 To: AppleTalk User Subject: Read Receipt: Exchange User Message Identifer: 8531445D0933D011B89B000000000001 Primary message ID: 20D925BF0B33D011B89B000000000001 Your message to: Exchange User(MS:MICROSOFT/BREST/EXUSER) With subject: Message Subject And sent on: 1996-10-31 11:06 Was read on: 1996-10-31 16:48 Priority level: C

Normally, AppleTalk read receipts are in the following graphical format:

  - |         Message Subject                      | -  |   The message :  Subject         | |  was read by :      Receiver's Name          | |  on:       Thur. Oct 31, 1996 4:48pm        | -



CAUSE
The AppleTalk connector does not translate Read and Not Read messages into graphical format.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft Exchange Server version 4.0.

A supported fix is now available, but has not been fully regression tested and should be applied only to systems experiencing this specific problem. Unless you are severely impacted by this specific problem, Microsoft recommends that you wait for the next Service Pack that contains this fix. Contact Microsoft Technical Support for more information.



MORE INFORMATION
With the fix applied, read receipts are translated into graphical format. However, if the Exchange Server user deletes the message before it is read, then the notification will be in the form of a normal message with the prefix "Not Read" added to the subject. Even thought this is non-graphical, no header information will be included in the body of the message.
