Hello, all.  Being on several different systems, I have access to three, I 
find my self working with three different mailers.  Of the three, I like elm
the best.  However there is one feature for which I have not found an attribute
in my .elmrc file; and that is read receipt.  On one system that I have access
to, (for work purposes) I can flag certain email messages that I send "read
receipt requested".  When the party receives the email and it has been read,
a message is sent to my account that tells me that they indeed received it.
Kinda like a registered U.S. postal letter.  Any ideas?  
Thanx
Jim
