[PATCH] Read receipts.

[Danny Angus <da...@thought.co.uk>]

Hi,

Am I the only person here who hates people sending mail to lists requesting
read receipts?
I've appended a patch for mail.xml in case I'm not.

+<strong>
+    Don't request read receipts.
+</strong><br/>
+People subscribed to public mailing lists don't necessarily want you to
know
+that they have read your mail. One feature of lists is that they allow
people
+to lurk or to control the mail they receive. Read receipts could be
regarded as
+an intrusion into their privacy.
