1502.0. "Invalid DAF Pointer in Document - When issuing Read Receipt." by WAYOUT::CLARKE (The Cat in the Hat comes back.) Thu Sep 24 1992 18:32

This problem is similar to note 1475 by T Talbot but is reproducible using 
standard ALL-IN-1 V3.0 options.

What is happening on the customer site is that whenever the user reads a new 
mail message which has a read receipt using RN he gets the following error;

'Invalid DAF Pointer in Document                                000000'

The read receipt is sent and the mail is ok if read again. The current item 
block on the EM menu is not updated with the read message as it should be.

If a new message with Read Receipt is read by selecting (SEL or II) and then 
read using R no error occurs.

This behaviour is consistantly reproducible using ALLI/NOCUST and has occured
since their V3 upgrade. No errors are logged in OA$MTI_ERR, they all use 
WPS-PLUS local first class mail only.

I have checked the named data for RN which is identical to our system where I
cannot reproduce this problem. BTW the customer is Yellow Pages, I believe
engineering are aware of their difficulties since upgrade.

Any ideas

If I can just get a word in on this topic!

I have further refined the problem for your interest. The problem seems to be 
using the MAIL READ function causing the error above when reading messages with 
read receipt.

If have a form with named data;

;;.TYPE;;
MENU

;;RN;;
MAIL READ/NEXT/UNREAD/METER=RECEIVE_MEMO

Using RN on a message with Read Receipt causes the above error. If I put a .FX
before the MAIL READ on this form (or infact on EMC) the error does not occur.

Strange thing is the error only occurs using MAIL READ from named data a;
<MAIL READ/NEXT/UNREAD/METER=RECEIVE_MEMO
works ok when reading a new mail with read receipt. 

I think that the /NEXT/UNREAD is relevant as the problem doesnt occur using the
Read option from EMC.

Any ideas on this ?
