>Yes I could do it with procmail, but it is not what I meant :

That is what I said - I will spell it out a bit better :)
1. You receive mail and read it
2. Your .muttrc has a line - unignore Disposition-Notificiation-To,
Return-Receipt-To
3. You read the mail and then bounce it to a dummy account on your box
(assuming you have root privileges and can add users, that is) :)
4. A .procmailrc on that dummy account has an autoresponder which will
respond to the original sender "Hi, I've read your message, I'll get back
to you ASAP".
got it?
