Hello all,
In an effort to help a friend with how to enable a receipt request within Mail, I am now on the hunt for a fix on reversing the process.
Mail now successfully requests a user receipt, upon opening at the other end, however....the reply from the recipient never makes it back to the sender, it instead bounces back - TWICE - into their inbox (the replyer).
Below is the walkthrough that was used;
* Open Terminal.
* Type "defaults read com.apple.mail UserHeaders".
* Press Enter.
* If that command returns "The domain/default pair of (com.apple.mail, UserHeaders) does not exist":
o Type
+ defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Disposition-Notification-To" = "Name <email@address>"; }'
replacing Name with your name and email@address with your email address.
+ The complete line could read "defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{"Disposition-Notification-To" = "Heinz Tschabitscher <[email protected]>"; }'", for example.
* If the "defaults read" command above returns a line of values that starts with "{" and ends in "}":
o Highlight the entire line. It might read something like {Bcc = "[email protected]"; }, for example.
o Press Command-C.
o Type "defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '" (excluding the outer quotation marks).
o Press Command-V.
o Type "'".
o Insert '"Disposition-Notification-To" = "Name <email@address>"; ' in front of the closing "}" character, replacing Name with your name and email@address with your email address.
The line might now read
+ defaults write com.apple.mail UserHeaders '{Bcc = "[email protected]"; "Disposition-Notification-To" = "Heinz Tschabitscher <[email protected]>"; }'
, for example.
* Press Enter.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
The fix for removing all of this is;
To turn requesting a read receipt for every message back off:
* Execute "defaults delete com.apple.mail UserHeaders" at Terminal command prompt to delete all custom headers or set UserHeaders back to what it was before you added "Disposition-Notification-To".
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Unfortunately, the reversal command has had no effect at all - If the USER plist file for Mail is deleted in an attempt to reset Mail, will it have any effect? Or, will this setting remain in place?
Argh!!
