I'm reopening this bug and confirming it myself.

It seems that Evolution does support adding read receipts, but that it
just doesn't pick it up. Sending mails from Outlook with receipt
requests doesn't trigger anything, and a closer inspection of the mail
generated by Evolution shows that it does add the "Disposition-
Notification-To:" header item.

This bug isn't Invalid because it is non-sense that you have to enable
something in the accounts settings for read receipts to work. The option
Christian was talking about is setting the default behaviour, but you
can also add read receipt requests manually via the Insert menu.

This bug seems to be that although Evolution does add read receipt
requests successfully to the mail header (can anyone confirm that it
works in Outlook, to be sure?) it doesn't do anything when a message it
receives requests a read receipt.

I have confirmed this bug on an up-to-date install of Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid
Lynx.

** Changed in: evolution (Ubuntu)
