Lotus Notes: How to reply to an email that has copy protection

One time at the office someone sent me an email that I could not reply to due to Lotus Note's copy protection (a flag that can be set via the 'Delivery Options' button.) Below is Lotus Notes Script code that can be used to remove the 'Keep Private' flag within your local Lotus Notes database, thus allowing you to reply to the surely snarky email.

FIELD $KeepPrivate := $KeepPrivate; @If($KeepPrivate != ""; @Do(@SetField("$KeepPrivate";""); @Prompt([OK];"$KeepPrivate Flag Disabled";"Success. Copy protection removed!")); @Prompt([OK];"$KeepPrivate Flag Not Found";"Email has no copy protection."))
