The nickle and dime way would be to add
Return-Receipt-Requested:
(or whatever the header is) to your ~/.elmheaders file . . . but
that'll add the entry for each message. Instead, you can go into
the header editor as you send each message, and add a U)ser defined
header as appropriate.

I assume sendmail does? Does elm understand this syntax and automatically send a return receipt? Or is this in a later version.

After you compose your message, choose "H" (edit headers), then from the new screen, use "U" (user defined header) to create a header like Return-Receipt-To: ken@pyr.gatech.edu I don't know if you can set it permanently from .elmrc. I know mush lets you set your own headers in .mushrc.

But remember the little `feature' that the U)ser defined header
has, until you remember to remove it it will show up in all of the
mail that you send from within that invocation of Elm. (It is easy
to turn off though, in the header editor say "u\b\n" where "\b" is
your erase character, and "\n" is the carriage return.

Return-recipt-to: triggers a return receipt here but it's not coming from smail. Its coming from the local version of /bin/mail. I'm so embarased, I may never post anything again. -- Greg Laskin "When everybody's talking and nobody's listening, how can we decide?"
