- I wouldn't suggest to do that. This would clearly mix distinct things.
- Return-Receipt has to do with the MUA and MUA things are done in the header
- of a mail. MIME has to do with mail bodies, that means with the information
- which is transported by mail. Therefore return-receipt should NEVER generate
- a new body part (even if it is possible).
