Since no-one seems to have made any progress (???) I am working on
this, if someone is making progress then feel free to let me know.
Comment 6 James Ascroft-Leigh 2004-09-17 16:41:53 UTC 
I know this has been said before but I now I will have a go.

I have a simple patch in testing that at least allows the sending of MDN request
headers with outgoing emails.
Comment 7 ÉRDI Gergõ 2005-04-22 20:39:38 UTC 
NotZed checked in my patch to the 2.2 branch.
