I think the only mail readers that use the "Return Receipt" headers
(Disposition-Notification-To) are Microsoft (Outlook, Outlook
Express, and Exchange), Netscape, Calypso, and *possibly* Eudora. At
least those are the only ones that I've received a receipt from...
There are two types of Return Receipts: The Read receipt, of which I
seem to send to mailing lists too often, use in the MS readers and a
Delivery receipt that Netscape can send that is acted upon by the
SMTP mail servers.
I've included some of the headers from receipts that I've received
below, obfuscating the origins of the senders for privacy:

Subject: Re: apology for Read Receipt Request
Hi
Just curious as to how these "read reciept" things work. I use good
old
pine so I didn't even notice.
Looking at the headers though, I saw this
Disposition-Notification-To: "Michael A. Johnson"
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
so I guess this is what the client uses. Are there different kinds of
notification you can get? I guess there is an rfc out there for all
this.
Just thinking this maybe something I could setup a little procmail
recipe
to do for specific people or domains.
