[imp] disposition notification reg.

[ANANT S ATHAVALE]

Dear Eris,

Thanks for your guidance.  But, as I understand, enabling the option  
for "Prompt to send read receipt when requested by the sender?"  
enables one to send read-receipt if the user wishes.  If it is  
disabled, neither it will prompt nor it will send read-receipt.  This  
is based on my experience.  Can anybody confirm whether whatever is  
happening in my setup is as expected or it should have sent  
read-receipt automatically to the sender if that option is disabled.

Regards,
ANANT.
