Sometimes I need to use NT [kind of like a software enema ...], and
when I need to read mail, I use Outlook Express to make an IMAP
connection to the [Exchange] mail server. When I read messages, I
often get a window that pops up and says something like this, "The
sender of this message has requested a return receipt to indicate that 
you have read this mail, do you want to send one?"

And I say "no" because I basically have a contentious personality.

But Gnus never asks me this. 

It could well be an M$ divide and conquer IMAP "enhancement" that
we're talking about here. But it could be something else.

If there is sufficient interest, I could do some tests to see what
happens with Gnus vs. Outlook Express.
