Yes, I mean Read Receipts.... sorry for the confusion.
IMP generates the following headers when a return receipt is requested:
Disposition-Notification-To: rmalloy at meridianschools.org
Return-Receipt-To: rmalloy at meridianschools.org
X-Confirm-Reading-To: rmalloy at meridianschools.org
X-PMRQC: 1
It should honor the same headers, but it seems Return-Receipt-To is more of a
Delivery notification, not a read notification. Does the checkbox in IMP mean
delivery and read confirmation?
Also, does anybody have more info on how the other MUA's use the Return-
Receipt-To: header? I checked MS Outlook 2002, and it uses Disposition-
Notification-To: for read receipts, and Return-Receipt-To: for delivery
confirmation.
