RFC 2298 reply support

RFC 2298 reply support

Hi.

I know that Gnus supports sending RFC 2298 return-receipt requests
(just invoke C-c M-n to stick a Disposition-Notification-To: header
in the message).

Does Gnus support sending receipts if it receives a message with at
DNT header? As far as I know, my copy of Oort .16 doesn't. 

I suspect that, given Gnus's über-compliance with every RFC known to
man, there must be a philosophical reason for it. Or is it just
something that no one has had the time to implement?

Regards,

--Joe

Nope.

Receipts are annoying IMHO, I wouldn't even want Gnus default to
asking the user whether to respond, if sending receipts were
implemented.  But it probably wouldn't hurt to have this feature
available, for those who like to enable it.  Send patches! :-)
