That was Disposition-Notification-To, I think, and it is not the same as 
DSN.  DSN works at the MTA level (but need MUA cooperation to read 
notifications).  DNT is MUA only.  Unless I remember incorrectly.

support DSN/DNT if the user wants to enable it for a certain message (or 
for all outgoing messages).  But it should not be the default.
