Quote from RFC3798: 2.1. The Disposition-Notification-To Header A request for the receiving user agent to issue message disposition notifications is made by placing a Disposition-Notification-To header into the message. However, the bug in this case is cleary on the Taiwan Power Company side, since the quoted section continues The presence of a Disposition-Notification-To header in a message is merely a request for an MDN. The recipients' user agents are always free to silently ignore such a request. So Gnus is behaving correct by default. Bjørn -- Don't you realise that you think that I was the Pope in a previous life
