Set one of your headers to-  Return-Receipt-To: yourname

The easiest way might be in your .mushrc:

my_hdr Return-Receipt-To: rock@warp

This will do it for ALL your mail though!

If you are using the tty or curses mode, here are a bag of tricks
I have in my .mushrc for doing it dynamically:

# For this message only, send it registered
bind-macro 'M' ':registered\n;regmail\n'

# For reply of this message only, send it registered
bind-macro '@r' ':registered\n;regreplysender\n'
# For replyall of this message only, send it registered
bind-macro '@R' ':registered\n;regreplyall\n'

# Commands to make te above bindings work
cmd regmail '\mail;unregistered'
cmd regreplysender '\replysender;unregistered'
cmd regreplyall '\replyall;unregistered'
cmd registered my_hdr Return-Receipt-To: rock@warp
cmd unregistered 'un_hdr Return-Receipt-To:'

# If I forgot when I started to compose, type ^n before I send it
map! '\CN' '\n~:my_hdr Return-Receipt-To: rock@warp'

# To turn off registered, in curses type ":U"
cmd U 'unregistered'
