Subject: return receipt requests and pine 4.21?

Hello,
	I'm trying to get pine v4.21 to initiate requests for return receipts
for my mail. I've added the return-receipt-to header to the
customize-hdrs field in .pinerc, but my mail clients are not returning
any mail. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thank you.
Dave.

The protocol isn't well defined yet.  There are two headers that *may*
trigger remote mailers to do what you're asking:

	Return-Receipt-To:
and	Disposition-Notification-To:

In many cases, remote mailers are not receipt aware and you'll get nothing.
