Strange behavior from Mail.app, release 3.0:

A friend of mine, who uses a non NeXT machine, keeps getting read receipts  
when he sends me e-mail.  After some investigation, it seems that his  
machine name--starry--is the culprit.

It seems that Mail.app requests a read receipt by including a 'RR' in the  
outgoing header:

	'Received: by NeXT.Mailer (1.87.1.RR)'	-- send a receipt
	'Received: by NeXT Mailer (1.87.1)'	-- don't

Here's the header that his machine attaches:

	Received:  by Starry.Stanford.EDU (4.1/25-STARRY-eef) id AA23466;  
Wed, 14 Oct 92 16:35:12 PDT

Notice the 'RR' in 'STARRY'.
Hmm.

My guess is that Mail.app is doing a poor job of parsing its receipt  
requests.  Has anyone else seen this problem?  Does anyone have a  
suggested fix?
