About Status Field Changes for Email Messages
The Set ParentEmail Status business service controls the Status field changes in an original email message (the parent email) and in subsequent email messages that are associated with the original message (child email). Table 25 shows user actions and the resulting values in the Status field of parent and child email for parent outbound messages. For the user actions in this table, child messages are always outbound.
