If subsequent versions have added the >:support for RRT, then I stand corrected. >smail 3.1.18, 3.1.25, and 3.1.26 do support it. You can test with a >pre-smail 3.1.24 system by sending mail to mjo@fmsrl7.srl.ford.com. There is something fishy here. My copies of the Smail 3.1.25, 3.1.26 & 3.1.27 source do not contain any mention of the Return-Receipt-To: header. They also *not* do anything interesting with a Return-Receipt-To: header. I expect someone has produced a patch to do this, *but* it definitely is *not* part of the stock 3.1.27 release as released yesterday!
