Quoth RFC 2298:
This memo defines a MIME content-type that may be used by a mail user
agent (UA) or electronic mail gateway to report the disposition of a
message after it has been sucessfully delivered to a recipient. This
content-type is intended to be machine-processable. Additional
message headers are also defined to permit Message Disposition
Notifications (MDNs) to be requested by the sender of a message. The
purpose is to extend Internet Mail to support functionality often
found in other messaging systems, such as X.400 and the proprietary
"LAN-based" systems, and often referred to as "read receipts,"
"acknowledgements," or "receipt notifications." The intention is to
do this while respecting the privacy concerns that have often been
expressed when such functions have been discussed in the past.
Am I missing something?
Oh, BTW, on the subject of RFCs, here's a nugget of a Bookmarklet
<URL:http://www.bookmarklets.com/> for looking up RFCs by number from
IETF.org. Add a Favourite for
<URL:javascript:void(Qr=prompt('RFC...',''));if(Qr)void(location.href='http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc'+escape(Qr)+'.txt')>.
It'll prompt you for an RFC number and fetch that RFC from ietf.org.
