That must mean then that the list software is primative.. Now I don't condone
using of Receipt.. header merely because it causes _everbody_ on the list
inconvience...
Incidently it's only supported by sendmail daemons.
Procmail a newer list managing package will strip those headers from the list
but I don't think it will return a receipt to the sender...
