    Posted: 26 October 2003 at 10:56am

I couldn't find anything when I did a search for this item, so don't know if it's not been discussed, or maybe it's a dumb question.

When I send a PM to a user, and check that I want a read confirmation, I get an e-mail notification saying I have read the message that I sent myself when I view the message in my PM Outbox. (Which of course I did not send to myself, but another user.)

I have two questions on that:

1) Is that normal behaviour to tell myself that I have read the message I sent?

2) Does that nullify the e-mail confirmation from being sent when the actual recipient opens the PM?

Thanks!

Dave

Just an update to answer one of my own questions (number 2). All of the recipients that I sent a PM to have now viewed their messages. So for number 2, the answer is No, the first confirmation e-mail does not disable the real confirmation e-mail when the intended recipient views their PM.

The first issue is still outstanding. A read confirmation e-mail should not be sent back to the author of a PM when they view it in their own outbox. It's definitely confusing.

Thanks for looking into this, Bruce!

I have already fixed this with by changing the following line 131, in pm_show_message.asp:-

If CBool(rsPmMessage("Email_notify")) AND
rsPmMessage("Author_email") <> "" AND blnEmail AND
CBool(rsPmMessage("Read_Post")) = False AND Request.QueryString("M") <> "OB" Then


Thanks for pointing out the bug.
