An *optional* part, but yes a part of internet mail spec, RFC 2298.

Any client can receive them; they are a part of the mail message itself.
Responding to them is another issue altogether, and is optional according to
the RFC:
"The presence of a Disposition-Notification-To header in a message is
merely a request for an MDN. The recipients' user agents are always
free to silently ignore such a request."

Actually Internet Explorer 5 is one of the most standards compliant browsers
out there. Here's one quote I pulled off the web in 30 seconds of looking:
"So far the most recent Macintosh release of IE, IE5/Mac was designed for
standards-compliance, even more so than its current Windows successor. It
supports all sorts of weird and wonderful stuff like HTML, CSS, PNG and the
DOM. Donąt worry about the acronyms ‹ they simply amount to great stuff."
