I may be a bit dense, but I am having a hard time seeing how MDNs
solve the notification problems that we have been discussing. If
the answer is simply to use the same idea of a multipart/report
MIME type, where one part is human readable, and the other part is
machine readable, that is fine. However, if the suggestion is to
use the message/disposition-notification MIME type, it just does
not work for me.

curious...
