Re: sendmail flags [nmh-0.24]

  Is there a way to give switches to the sendmail program? For example
if you use sendmail V8.7 or up, there is no official support of the
return-receipt anymore, the -N switch is recommended.

  Gruss Stefan!  Although I've been out of touch for a while, there
  were a couple of Internet drafts that covered return receipts which
  may well be RFCs now.  I have an old reference to:

    http://ds.internic.net/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-receipt-mdn-04.txt

  entitled:

    An Extensible Message Format for Message Disposition Notifications

  So, the real question is, is MDN support in the works for nmh?  

  p.s. the Return-Receipt-To sendmail hack is non-standard and is
  discouraged for many reasons which is why they turned off the
  support by default.
