Mailman attempts to remove headers such as Return-Receipt-To:,
Disposition-Notification-To: and X-Confirm-Reading-To: from the
outgoing messages it sends. There are several reasons for this:

Many people are annoyed by these requests and set their MUAs to ignore
them, so they are not reliable.

Someone might inadvertently request return receipts on a post to a very
large list and then have to deal with a large number of replies.

Return receipts could be used to fish for membership on a list with a
restricted roster.

This removal can only be changed by modifying the Cleanse.py handler
that does the removal.
