As I recall, under 2.1 the NeXTmailer just looks for "NeXTmail 1.63RR"
somewhere in the header and decides upon the RR (return receipt) that it has
to return an acknowledge.

I have seen "Return-Receipt-To: name@address" also. That seems a logical
extension to the mail protocol. Is NeXTmail under 3.0 doing this, or doing the
old thing (backward compatibel) or doing both? Looks handy to have that
working for other mailprogramns too.
