To Respond to a Plain Text E-mail Notification Using Direct Response

Warning: Turn off automatic signatures when you reply to notifications, as they may be incorrectly interpreted as response values. For example, suppose a notification expects four response values to be returned and you specify three response values in the first three lines and then leave the fourth line blank to accept the default value. If you include an automatic signature in the response, the Notification Mailer may incorrectly interpret your signature as the fourth response value.

Note: If you send an invalid response, the Notification System sends you an "invalid response" message. If you respond to a notification that has been canceled, you get a message informing you that the notification was canceled. Similarly, if you respond to a notification that was already previously responded to, you get a message informing you that the notification is closed.

Example

Following is a set of response instructions and examples of three possible responses.

Response Instructions

Enter the Required Date on line 3. If there is no required date, leave this blank. Value must be a date in the form "DD-MON-YYYY".
