- Microsoft Mail Gateway to X.400, versions 2.1, 3.0, 3.2

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.
