In my return receipt settings I have set that if I am not in the 'To' or 'CC' field then I will 'never' send a return receipt. In Newsgroups I am obviously not in the To or CC fields yet I still get the request. Why? Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 208589 ***

Resolution: --- → DUPLICATE
This isn't a duplicate of bug 208589 This is an instance of a preference in the return receipt settings not working. i.e. I have retrun receipts set to ask me if I want to send a return receipt if someone requests it. I also have a preference set that if I am not in the 'To' or 'CC' field then I don't want to know anything about it as I will never send a return receipt in this instance. Bug 208589 refers to global settings for both news and mail not being a good idea. My bug refers to the above setting not working in relation to newsgroups.

It doesn't make sense to use return receipts in newsgroups. The user should never be asked whether he/she wants to send one nor should it be possible to request one. I think this is what bug 208589 is really about. So this bug is INVALID, because it would be a waste of time to make a feature work right that shouldn't exists at all.

we shouldn't prompt at all for return receipts from newsgroups. And we should not generate return receipts for newsgroup messages. So if I understand correctly, there are two bugs here.

still seeing this bug in RC3 Surely it is one that should be addressed before the 1.4 final
For an indication that others are seeing this bug take a look at the following news thread snews://secnews.netscape.com:563/bdf4j6$9bk2@ripley.netscape.com

the way we do MDN receipts was rewritten for 1.4, and in the rewriting, apparently, we forgot to check for news group messages before generating mdn responses. This should fix it. It won't be in 1.4 final, but maybe in a 1.4 point release.
