Or search MacUpdate.com for the Return Receipt 3.0 script; rather than
setting up the "reply text" rule set a rule to Run AppleScript... and then
point it to this script. The script creates a real-looking return receipt.
Note that the developer no longer is supporting this script and does not
respond to many emails about it.
