Dear Pine Users:

Does Pine has a "receipt" function which enables you to check 
if your email recipient has received your email?  If so, 
please tell me how to set up.  If not, is there any way to 
emulate this?  TIA.

You want the "Return-Reciept-To:" line in the header of your out-going
mails.  You can add such lines in the setup configuration (s, c) under
"customized-hdrs".  I have two such lines:

	Return-Receipt-To:
	Reply-To:

You can do it!

Cheers!

Well, this does it, but it adds these headers to _every_ message I send. I
definitely do not want every message confirmed when read/delivered.

*Hint to the authors*

It would be an excellent feature if one could toggle this when composing a
message! (Pegasus Mail under DOS/Windows does it...)

*Hint off*

It's actually there, just not as simple of a toggle.  Make sure that in
setup/config you have the "Return-Receipt-To" header *without* a
pre-filled return address.  

Then, when you are composing a new message and want a return-receipt,
use <ctrl>-R to bring up the rich headers.  Simply fill in the mail
address you want the receipt sent to in the Return-Receipt-To field.
