I do have a ticket open with IBM on this but need to try all avenues to get an answer. With regards to the Return receipt setting, there is no way, per IBM, to remove that setting programatically because the document is in a truncated state. The document has to be retrieved first. So we're at the point on how to capture the return receipt before it escapes.
Jay Marme per your response it's almost as though once the Return Receipt is triggered the first time no new return receipts will be triggered again, is that what you were writing?
Mike Woosly per your response on a return receipt there is no way that the owner would be bcc and IBM has said this also, but it still seemingly happened.
