Hmm, in kmail/configuredialog.cpp we have mentioned MDN as generalization of 
the Return Receipt concept:

   mReceiptWhatsThis
= i18n( "<qt><h3>Message Disposition Notification Policy</h3>"
              "<p>MDNs are a generalization of what is commonly called <b>read"
               "receipt</b>. The message author requests a disposition "
               "notification to be sent and the receiver's mail program "
               "generates a reply from which the author can learn what "
               "happened to his message. Common disposition types include "
            "<b>displayed</b> (i.e. read), <b>deleted</b> and b>dispatched</b>"
               "(e.g. forwarded).</p>"

[...]

I don't know how it works, e.g. whether e.g. "read" notifivation can be sent 
first, and then "forward" notification can be sent many times.

If that could be the case, perhaps even then "read receipt" would be fair name 
for end users?
