Need, no, but one could appeal to symmetry. If we can generate the request and expect others to respond, it seems that we too should have the ability to optionally meet this expectation. Having said that, doing so would require maintaining some per-message state to track whether one had already responded, or perhaps permanently declined to respond, so as to preclude repeated prompting each time one views a given message. Bonus points would go to correlating the incoming responses with the original outbound message. -- Steven E. Harris
