[comp.mail.misc] Return-Receipt-To

fkk@stasys.sta.sub.org (Frank Kaefer) (01/02/91)

Dear Readers,

I have a question concerning the implementation of the header lime
"Return-Receipt-To:". As far as I know, only sendmail pays attention to
this line. I think this "Return-Receipt-To" is meant to send an
automatic mail back to the recipient that he/she has read this mail.
Sendmail delivers this return receipt when the mail arrives in the
users' inbox. So I'd like to ask if there are any patches for
smail (3.1.18) or elm that implement this feature ? Is sendmail
the only mailer that supports it ?

Thanks in advance,
Cheers,
Frank.
