Hello. Thanks for your interest in this class!
Going straight to the point:
1) This is just syntactic sugar; I'm unused to this kind of syntax in PHP, which explains why I simply never thought of adding it to this class. I may consider this change, but I don't expect to push an update just for this.
2) This goes beyond the scope of this class and I will not consider such a change. Receipt requests at the client level are non-standard, and sometimes implemented by employing the loading of off-site images, which requires user interaction in recent mail clients because of privacy concerns.
3) In my experience, priority is hardly ever useful, because it tends to be ignored by the user, or sometimes even considered as a sign of spam. I simply inherited the behaviour of Leo West's class without tampering much with it. However, this can be added if you need the feature. Would you mind giving a few pointers on what headers are used by the mail client you need to support? Or perhaps confirming that you're referring to this, for instance?

If you're a developer and interested in submitting patches, please make use of my contact form at http://eregil.altervista.org to let me have an e-mail address and we'll figure out a way.
The class is not in github/google code/etc. because even I consider it a "legacy" project, i.e. it's mainly something that exists to make old code work. If you look at the history, this began with a fork of Leo West's class in 2008 because I needed a few extra features. After 2008 I only updated this class once in 2012, which was mostly for PHP 5.3+ compatibility anyway. Nowadays I rarely work with PHP, and in the event that I were to resume working with PHP, I would probably write something more versatile from scratch if I didn't find a more modern class that suited my needs.
