It's called 'Return Receipts' in the GUI, just like in Netscape 4.7. I speak
very good English, but when I hear 'Disposition-Notification', I have to use a
dictionary to know what it means.

It's not a "Return Receipts".
"Disposition-Notification" notified when mail is delivered to the mail server.
in case when "Return Receipts" send message when user open message and he can
deny notification message sending. In my case mail server automatically sending
message to sender to notify that he (server) already recieving that message.
