right, or say procmail has processed it :)

or again in my case handled by procmail. At various times I have worked
for people who *expect* this sort of thing, and thought it maybe handy to
setup a procmail recipe that says when I get email from
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or even @specificclientdomain.com and they have
requested a reciept, then have procmail send them one of these reciepts.
I personally don't like the feature so I certainly wouldn't want to do it
for anyone, although this should be easy too.
Not sure when I'll find time, but I need to take a look at the RFC (thanks
Anthony) to get the details.
