   Did I screw up, or is "disposition-notification-to" another header that I
   need to nail?

Actually, about every user agent I know of has defined its own receipt
request header. Probably, it would be best to configure your mail list
software to  filter out (silently)  all headers but  some specifically
selected one. Perhaps there is some RFC defining standard ones.

You'll probably want to keep:
	 From:
	 Date:
	 Subject:
	 Organization:
	 MIME-Version:
	 Content-Transfer-Encoding:
	 Content-Type:

	 
perhaps also:
	 References:
	 Received:
	 Reply-To:
and some more, 
	 
and perhaps it would be benign to transmit also all headers begining with X-,
like:
         X-Coding-System:

but there is at least one UA that use a X- header to request a receive receipt.
