Way to know if someone is requesting a receipt in Ent2004?

I¹ve followed the suggestions about setting up a header to request a
receipt, but we are still left with the problem of not recognizing if
someone requests one from us in return.

It¹s been suggested (quoting somedumbguy):
Based on the header that you have to add in order to request a return
receipt, I would imagine that you could set up a rule to act on incoming
mail if 'Any Header' contains 'Disposition-Notification-To' and have it do
something special, like move it to a box called 'Return Requests' or maybe
flag it or change its category. Then you can just fire off a quick,
boilerplate reply. This isn't as seamless as having the mail program
automatically present you with a button to click, a la Eudora, but it should
work (shouldn't it???)...

Seems reasonable, but would it work, and how should it best be implemented?

I¹m sending myself an email with a receipt request to check it out, but I
would much appreciate an expert word.

Thanks!


Best,

What I just did is make a rule that if Specific Header
³Disposition-Notification-To:² Exists, Copy Message to RECEIPTS! Folder.

I figure it will work, but would like to know for sure. Also, not sure
whether I should have included the :. I did not use quotes in the rule.

Thanks!

Not sure about the colon. Send yourself an e-mail from Entourage using that
header and check your mail with Eudora. If it works, great. If not, drop the
colon. Then do the same thing (with or without the colon in the rule, as
appropriate) and check you mail with Entourage. Please report back with your
results! Thanks,
