Outlook macro to strip emails in folder of read receipt request in header

[ghumdinger]

Hi all

I am trying to create a macro to delete any read receipt request in the headers of all emails in a particular Outlook folder.

I understand from [link - I am not allowed to post the link. Please google for an article on Vamsoft.com title "How to remove read receipt requests on the server?"] that deleting these 2 headers will do the trick:

Read-Receipt-To:
Disposition-Notification-To:

Unlike the situation considered by the cited article, I do not need a way to strip the headers of incoming emails. I just need to do this for all emails in a particular chosen folder.

I am trying to adapt this code in the cited article for the purpose, but because I do not have coding expertise, I am just grappling in the dark and have had no success:

Sub ISMTPOnArrival_OnArrival(ByVal Msg, EventStatus)
    ' remove read receipt request fields
    Set Flds = Msg.Fields
    With Flds
      .Delete("urn:schemas:mailheader:Disposition-Notification-To")
      .Delete("urn:schemas:mailheader:Read-Receipt-To")
      ' update the mail header
      .Update
    End With

    ' save changes to the mail
    Msg.Datasource.Save

    ' continue execution with the next sink
    EventStatus = cdoRunNextSink
  End Sub

I would be so very grateful if someone can lend a hand.

Thanks!

Best,
Jay
