Is this what you're looking for? In a mail buffer, in the header
lines if you....
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
C-c M-n runs the command message-insert-disposition-notification-to
which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `message.el'.
It is bound to C-c M-n, <menu-bar> <Field> <Request Receipt>.
(message-insert-disposition-notification-to)
Request a disposition notification (return receipt) to this message.
Note that this should not be used in newsgroups.

Please, can you explain this a little more? I was under the
impression the mail one *receives* has the path traversal in the
headers.
