>Technical Summary
>
>  This memo defines a MIME content-type that may be used by a mail
>  user agent (UA) or electronic mail gateway to report the disposition
>  of a message after it has been sucessfully delivered to a recipient
>  ("receipt report" or "read report").
>
>  Other WGs may also be using this for delivering information about
>  automated processing of messages, for instance in the EDI context.
>
>
>Working Group Summary
>  The working group came to consensus on the document as written;
>  it is believed that any kind of on-reading notification involves
>  serious tradeoffs, especially with regard to privacy; the WG
>  believes that the current document is a reasonable approach.
