I would like to know if PINE 3.91 has the capability to request a return 
receipt from the person that the message is addressed to.  It would be 
nice to receive some sort of acknowledgement that your message did reach 
its destination.  If anybody knows of how we would be able to do this, 
please inform.  Thank you.

In the Pine settings for optional headers, add the undocumented sendmail
header 'Return-Receipt-To' and use the ^R command in the message
header area and insert your address there. I recommend *not* setting any
value in the header; otherwise next time you write to a mailing list you
will receive hundreds of return receipts. 

This is not an "official" header under the RFCs but many mailing systems
do honor it, same as the 'Errors-To:' header which is also non-standard.
