[Q]: function `message-insert-disposition-notificatio-to`

Hi,

When I want someone to send me a return receipt, I am used to press `C-c
M-n`. 

All is right for me but now I am trying to obfuscate my 'From' header so
instead of a real address, I have a '+something' (ie +mail for mails)
or other mark to obfuscate my mail (depending of the mailing list
software manager).

So taking message-insert-disposition-notification-to function:

,---- [ message.el ]
| (defun message-insert-disposition-notification-to ()
|   "Request a disposition notification (return receipt) to this message.
| Note that this should not be used in newsgroups."
|   (interactive)
|   (save-excursion
|     (save-restriction
|       (message-narrow-to-headers)
|       (message-remove-header "Disposition-Notification-To"))
|     (message-goto-eoh)
|     (insert (format "Disposition-Notification-To: %s\n"
|                     (or (message-field-value "Reply-to")
|                         (message-field-value "From")
|                         (message-make-from))))))
`----

I always have to manually remove the '+' part from my 'From' headers.
Is there a simple way to advice this function such like it de-obfuscate
automatically the 'From' header and so get a good and real email
address ?

I am not really familiar with advice so maybe can one help me ? :)

Thanx

What I would have done is define a command that first does
`message-insert-disposition-notification-to', and then goes through
the buffer and strips the "+whatever" from the From header.

Do you mean duplicate the function ? If so, I just did one function
that does this. My problem is not solved though :(

I really need to know how I can advice m-i-d-n-t function so it does it
directly.

Thanx anyway,

No.  Define a new function that calls that other function, and then
massage the buffer afterwards.

Yes it is a solution but I *really* want to enhance my Emacs Lisp
practice and so even if I will do your solution first, I secondly will
try the advice thing (which is killing me :)).
