Huh? I don't understand how that relates to the original objective of
verifying that an item in a folder has been read. Nothing about a custom
message form would prevent you from using a DL to send it to multiple public
folders.

Hi Sue, yes I did try what you suggested, but would it not be very slow
and tedious method for the operator responsible for posting the email to
30 public folders if he has to access a custom form 30 times that is for
every public folder, instead of being able to use a distribution group
that would contain the 30 public folders and send one email to all 30
public folders...?

With the custom form I can post into one public folder at a time and
everyting works fine when I do so...but it would take to long time to do
so 30 times for each public folder .....or am I missing something from
the picture ?
