Early versions of RFC 2298

I am looking for early drafts of RFC 2298 (dating to December of 1996 or earlier). Is there any archives of these drafts kept anywhere. I am particularly interested in the document draft-ietf-receipt-mdn-01.txt or some later (but not much later) version. Thanks, Kamal Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
