- 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.
