How do you notify the author of a document when a response has been composed?

1) In the Main Document, Response and Response to Response forms, create a field called 'From', defaulting to
@Name([CN];@Username);

2) In the Response Form, create a hidden field called 'ParentFrom', defaulting (with inheriting on) to:
From

3) In the Reponse to Response, create a field called 'ParentFrom' defaulting to (with inheriting on):
ParentFrom:From

4) In Response and Response to Response forms, add another hidden computed for display field called 'Announce' with this formula:
@If(@IsDocBeingSaved;@Success;@Return(0));
List := @Trim(@Replace(ParentFrom;From;""));
@If(@Elements(List) > 0; @Success;@Return(0));
SendList := @Prompt([OKCANCELLIST]; "Mail Notify?"; "Send mail notification about your reply to ";"";List);
@If(@Elements(SendList) > 0; @Success;@Return(0));
@MailSend(SendList; ""; ""; "Ref:" + OriginalSubject; ""; "My reply: "; [IncludeDoclink])
