Correctness of Message Disposal Notifications in Outlook Express 5.50.4522.1200

Hi,

I am wondering if Outlook Express creates correctly the
Message Disposal Notifications.
When Outlook Express receives a message for which a Reply
is Requested, it pops up with a window saying "The message
sender has requested a response to indicate that you have
read this message. Would you like to send a receipt ?"

Answering yes creates, first locally, a MDN to be sent to
originator of the message. There is an attachement with
this MDN which has the following content :

"Final-Recipient: rfc822;[email protected]
Original-Message-ID: <Law10-
[email protected]>
Disposition: manual-action/MDN-sent-manually; displayed".

I think this content is wrong. On the line "Final-
Recipient:", we should find the email address of the
recipient of the message and not the email address of the
one who has sent the original message.

My message was going from [email protected] to
[email protected]. The MDN is going from
[email protected] to [email protected].
By the way, the line "Final-Recipient:" should look "Final-
Recipient: rfc822;[email protected]".

We think Netscape works well and not outlook express.
Maybe newer versions are working better.

Please comment
