How to send emails with return-receipts in Ruby on Rails?

Question

Hi everybody,

I have to send automatic emails with Return Receipt (aka "acknowledgement of receipt"), to have the confirmation that the receiver have actually received and read the email. The confirmation is a simple email sent to a specified address (the "Disposition-Notification-To" address, given in the email header).

Do you know if there is an easy way to do that with Rails (ActionMailer)? or with Ruby perhaps (TMail, Net/SMTP)?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Answer 1

Can't you just set the header value?
