Someone requested this a bit ago, and I went looking for specs/standards, and I
couldn't come up with anything official. Is "Return-Receipt-To" the official
header, and what all clients use? Is there a standard somewhere I can refer to?
Is the value of the header an rfc822 address, or a bare address? (ie, with or
without personal name - Chuck <chuck@horde.org> vs. just chuck@horde.org).

If someone can get me definitive answers on this, it shouldn't be a problem to
add it in as an option.
