Have a look on the Options menu in the Message Editor window in TB!
and you will see options for Confirm Receipt and Reading Confirmation.
Selecting these result in the following headers in the message:

X-Confirm-Reading-To: xxx
Disposition-Notification-To: xxx
Return-Receipt-To: xxx

You can try it yourself by writing a message, selecting these two
options, and then showing the headers whilst the message is in the
outbox.  You can find information on return receipts in RFC2298
(http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc2298.txt)
