Return receipts can reassure people that you received their email message. But have you ever wanted to block a return receipt? If so, you're in luck. You can have the option of blocking a return receipt before it is sent by doing the following:

In Domino Designer, open the ($Inbox) folder of your mail database.
Select the QueryOpenDocument event in the Objects window.
Select Formula in the Programmer's pane, and then copy and paste the following code into the pane:

@If(@IsAvailable(ReturnReceipt);

@If(ReturnReceipt = "1";

@If(@Prompt([YESNO];"Return Receipt";

"Delete Return Receipt?");

@SetField("ReturnReceipt";"0");

"");

"")

Once you save the folder, you're all set. The next time you open a message with a return receipt requested, you will be prompted whether or not to delete the return receipt. If you want to know when a return receipt is requested, see the LDD Today tip "Creating a Return Receipt Indicator."
