[imp] Send a return receipt

[erno@birosag.hu]

Dear Michael,

Delivery Confirmation is not required for us, just won't work. It's not a problem because this system will send mails for itself.
Today I downloaded the latest stable version of Imp but I couldn't resolve the problem.
In the end I tried Squirrel mail, and this function worked fine, I got a pop-up window immediately.
Can I configure something somewhere about read receipts?
Maybe I misconfigured it.  

Thanks,
Erno

All current versions of IMP (I believe IMP 4.1+) correctly handle the  
RFC-complaint ways of requesting (and then sending) read receipts.

delivery confirmations are handled at the MTA level so there is  
nothing IMP (as a MUA) can do about that.
