Message Disposition Notification, see RFC 2298.

He is complaining about the header in your message that
begins Disposition-Notification-To:
Though why it has him so upset I am not sure.  You run the
risk of every Mail User Agent of everyone on this list
sending you a message to say that they received your nice
message, but that seems to be your problem.

It's not wasting much bandwidth, I just ignore it,
which is easily done by programming emacs to not
display useless headers.

Agreed.  What a useless waste of bandwidth.
And ugly too, as it is usualy auto-generated by
some of the worlds stupidest programs.

I am not sure why they ever defined this header, if you want
to know whether I read your message, read my insightful reply.
But, like I said, why don't you ignore it yourself?
