SMTP Delivery Failure - Xtra info

[Joe Reiss]

Hi All,

I'm sending out email via SMTP with a Notification that I get if the
recipient read the email.

myMsg.Headers.Add("Disposition-Notification-To","(e-mail address removed)");

This works fine. In the Delivery message I get back, it contains
To,Subject and Sent - how can I add to these headers. For example, I would
like to Add an extra header that would contain a string that would enable me
to then track against a database of emails I sent out. I need more than
just the email address that I get back.

Any help - appreciated.

I doubt you have any control over this. I would guess that these
"disposition notifications" (read receipts?) are handled by the recipient's
email client, and therefore only it decides what to send back.

Do like Microsoft, and everyone else I've ever seen, and add the string to
the subject
