Return-Recipt-To is deprecated in favour of Message Delivery Notifications.

There are two variants IIRC; MDN and DSN. MDN is intended for putting up
dialog in the recipients client whereas DSN is intended for bounce messages
(etc.) from servers. MDN is implemented by Eudora and Netscape, at least,
and IIRC also by Outlook 98 (but it's been a while).

Oh? MS Outlook pops up a dialog that sez "Do you wanna reply?" and offers
Ok and Cancel buttons. What Privacy issues do you see with that? DSN is a
server thing and (should only) contain transport information.
Server support for DSN is not something that I'm particularly familiar
with, but I would expect it to be more or less as well supported as
anything else is. I know MS Exchange 5.5[0] generates some horrible goop
for bounce messages, but I'm not sure I'm ready to accept /that/ particular
implementation as normative. :-)
I don't really see any problems here. So... Am I missing something?
[0] - Does anyone know if this is fixed in Exchange 2K, BTW?
