I cant change default mail form - anywhere

[Johny]

I have some experience with task forms, calendar formas and contact forms.
Now I need to create one "Mail form". I have done it, I published it to
public folder but I cant set it as default form. I cant set ANY mail form as
default for ANY folder (neither for public, neither for local private). It
alwayas wants:
"You cannot create an item of this type in this folder."
But it is mail form and the folder is type Mail, so what si wrong ?
I read this: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/266329/ but Iam not clecer from
it.
I created library organization form on server, it didnt help.

Could anyone advise me please ?
Thank you very much !

Items created from a message form are intended to be sent, not posted. Therefore, you cannot make a message form the default for any folder.

Please provide a fuller description of why you would want to make a message form the default for a publis folder.

Now I understand thank you very much

I wanted to use this e-mail form for internal purposes only.
Situation:
I must often tell some information to several people, but these people use
only one computer and there is only one account in outlook. And there is
problem that the first person read the message and the other doesnt know
about it.

My old imagination:
I have one group, which contains users and common public folder. I make a
form with chckboxex and names. I send a message to the goup. Every user get
his own copy of message and one copy arive to PF. Everybody who read the
message click on his name. This CMDbutt change the state of variable with his
name in PF and I know he read it.

To make such a form work, you need to publish it to the Organizational Forms library or to each user's Personal Forms library.

OK, but what kind of form should I use ?
IPM.post or IPM.note ?

If I undersood well, I cant set a mailform(IPM.post) as default form.
But If I use IPM.note, I dont know how to get it to all recipients.

thank you

P.S. - maybe my old solutions is bad, is here any better solution how to get
a feedback that a message was read by more people at one computer ?

If you want to send a message, you using IPM.Note. If you want to post in a folder, you use IPM.Post.

You solution is sound, but again, only if all recipients have access to the published version of the form.
