Alternative: modify Queryopen in the Memo form

An alternative is to remove the formula you've put in the folder, and add code to the Memo form instead.
This should work regardless of where an email is opened from.

In the Notes 8 mail design the main form title is "Message" and the alias is "Memo".
The Queryopen event in that form contains a bunch of LotusScript which has to stay there, so to achieve this change you need to add more LotusScript.

In the default version, the first two lines of the Queryopen event look like this:
Sub Queryopen(Source As Notesuidocument, Mode As Integer, Isnewdoc As Variant, Continue As Variant)
If source.InPreviewPane Then Exit Sub

I've added some code to my mail file that mimics the behaviour of Eudora (another type of email software, in case you're not familiar with it).
You should paste the following code immediately after the first line of the event and before the second line:

Dim doc As NotesDocument
Dim res%
If Not(Source.IsNewDoc) Then
Set doc=Source.Document
If (doc.ReturnReceipt(0)="1") And (Cstr(doc.DeliveredDate(0))<>"") Then
res=Msgbox("The sender has requested notification that you have seen this message." _
+Chr(13)+"Do you wish to send the notification?",35,"Return Receipt")
If res=IDCANCEL Then
Continue=False
Exit Sub
End If
If res=IDNO Then
doc.ReturnReceipt="0"
doc.Save False,False
End If
End If
End If

Then save and close the form and you're done.

One problem with this approach is that, since I've only done it on the Memo form, it only works for original messages; it does not work for replies. That should be easily solved by adding the same code to the Reply form.
