I won't repeat all the pros and cons of return receipts and registered
mail (you're welcome :-), just want to add an opinion.

The 'real world' of the RFCs isn't likely to define this in our lifetime,
so being 'RFC-compliant' is a non-issue.  Let's make this an Elm-to-Elm
features, with an XElm-Receipt header (or something similar).  If other
mailers pick it up (Dan Heller?) great.  If not, that's fine too -- we
can tout it as a reason for using elm over all them inferior mailers.
