Re: Soft Delete

Sean, yeah, we ran into this on 6.5.4 too - glad we're not the only 
ones... I blogged about it here: 
http://cwhisonant.blogspot.com/2005/06/soft-delete-bug-in-notes-653-and-654.html

Lotus gave us a decent workaround, but the user has to be Manager (I 
think...) of their mail file in order to change that soft delete option. 
So the workaround wouldn't work for us since all our users are Editor. 
Here's the gist from my blog.

A easy programmatic solution is to add the following code to the mail 
template's Database Script PostOpen event. Note: Simply disabling and 
re-enabling using the SetOption method does not result in the header entry 
being updated (probably because db is not closed between) - so the below 
method is the most efficient programmatic approach:

Dim hours As Integer 
Set db=source.Database
If db.getoption(dbopt_softdelete) Then
hours%=db.undeleteexpiretime
db.undeleteexpiretime=hours%+1
db.undeleteexpiretime=hours%
End If
