What if the Return-Receipt-To: is different from the From: or Reply-To: ? The
canned reply I believe goes (I believe) to the originator.

If PMMail had a rexx api you could write a user hook that sent a receipt on
that tag 'Return-Receipt-To' and even the one msclients are using
'X-Confirm-Reading-To' (I Think).
