Mozilla is not a corporate lan mail product.
Return receipts are more reliable in closed systems where everyone is
using the same mail server farm and the same client using (supposedly)
secure machines.
The same circumstances do not exist on the open Internet dealing with
home users. Receipts don't work, and having them available serves to
confuse people and exasperate circumstances.
