We would like to improve on the return-receipt messages that sendmail
generates.  The present messages consist entirely of headers, with the
only clue to the message's purpose being the phrase "Return Receipt"
hidden in the Subject line.  Many users are confused by these messages.
Even a simple 1 or 2 line message body explaining what the message means
would be a great improvement.

Before I start hacking at sendmail, has anyone already solved this problem?
Please reply by email, and I'll summarize.  Thanks.
