      Description:
      Problem
      Using Lotus Notes, you are unable to reply to or forward certain Internet messages. The following error is displayed: "You cannot forward or otherwise copy the contents of this document. This document is set to prohibit copying and duplicating."

      Cause
      When an SMTP message is received with a Sensitivity header which contains either "Personal", "Private" or "Company-Confidential", the header is rewritten as Sensitivity: Private and the $KeepPrivate field is set to 1.

      Resolving the problem

      This issue was reported to Quality Engineering as SPR# TPON7XGH46. Domino is behaving as intended (more on this below). However, a Domino notes.ini parameter will be added to allow customers control to optionally strip the $KeepPrivate item. This is planned for a future maintenance release, currently targeting 8.5.3 and 8.5.2 Fix Pack 1. The INI parameter will allow granular control for all three parameters "Personal", "Private" or "Company-Confidential". This way customers can choose to strip $KeepPrivate for all three, or individually based on preference.

      Notes.ini parameters effective starting in 8.5.3 and 8.5.2 Fix Pack 1:
      SMTP_NO_MAP_PERSONAL - if set to 1, do not map 'Sensitivity: Personal' header to $KeepPrivate="1"
      SMTP_NO_MAP_PRIVATE - if set to 1, do not map 'Sensitivity: Private' header to $KeepPrivate="1"
      SMTP_NO_MAP_COMPCONF - if set to 1, do not map 'Sensitivity: Company-Confidential' header to $KeepPrivate="1"

      The default value for these settings is zero (0), so that if all are 0, then, as before, a Sensitivity header with a Personal, Private, or Company-Confidential body will be mapped to the Notes $KeepPrivate item with a value of "1".

      Domino behavior
      Personal and Private have been mapped to $KeepPrivate="1" for a long time, while the mapping of Company-Confidential to $KeepPrivate="1" was more recent.

      In Domino 7.0.4 and 8.5, we fixed defect RRYN727KUE - Sensitivity= Company-Confidential is stripped from message. In fixing that defect, more messages will have Sensitivity= Company-Confidential and thus will have $KeepPrivate=1 which prevents replying/forwarding.
