Default detect if a mail is read in a public folder

Hi, I need to send alarms as emails to a public folder and I need to be
able to verify that the email has been read/opened after it has been
submitted to the public folder. There is a flag on a email message that
is called IsRead but that is user specific and will thus not help in
this case.

greatly appreciate any help rendered

Hi and thanks for a prompt reply, I tried out your suggestion made a
custom form based on IPM.note but when I specified that
the public folder should use the form I got an error message. I can use
a custom form based on IPM.post ...but then the event handler
item_read() only kicks in when posting
and does nothing for emails opened in the public folder ....is there
anyway of making ipm.note custom form to work with public folder ? or if
not can a custom form assigned to a public
folder somehow target emails instead of posts ? item_read() targeting
emails instead of the posts in the public folder ..

I have tried disabling as well per user reads but that turns of user
reads for all items in the public folder, that is all items remain in
the unread state, no matter if they have been read or not

Really appreciate any help that can guide me in the right direction
here...

Cheers
Gudmundur
