You should be able to support Return-Receipt-To: using a combination of an
exim filter and a specialised transport (probably a specially configured
autoreply transport).

Alternatively, masochists could do the whole lot within a transport filter
or shadow transport.

I would strongly protest adding any explicit support for a badly thought
out and officially depreciated feature in exim - even sendmail doesn't
support Return-Receipt-To: now.
