Subject: Delivery Confirmation?

Hi,

This may be an incredibly ignorant question, if so, I apologise.

On pegasus mail, there is a function whereby you can get notification that
your mail has actually been delivered to the other person's server. Is there
any such function on Pine?

This becomes a very useful feature when people's servers go down, because it
enables you to ascertain whether your message has actually reached its
destination. I have encountered this problem recently.

Thanks,
Robyn

I'm not sure what Pegasus is using, but it is probably just adding a
Return-Receipt-To: header.  You can do this in Pine on the Setup/Config
screen by adding it to the customized-hdrs entry.  Note that many servers
do not reply to that header, thus making it of questionable value...
