Hello Peter,
On Tuesday, April 16, 2002, Peter Palmreuther wrote and made these
points on the subject of "%ABToFirstName Bug?":

This explains why for every message I sent to this address I
receive two return receipts: one with a successful delivery and
the other one with a failure delivery.

Thank you both Peter and Roelof for the explanations. I have
found a way around to tackle this problem. I've created an
address book template for that particular contact person and
inserted his name instead of the macro %ABToFirstName.
