There is no such thing as a Read-receipt in E-mail.  If you want one, the
best you can do is ask the recipient to send back a mail when he has read
the message.

The only receipts the e-mail system supports are Return-Receipts.  They can
are generated by the receiving sendmail program that does the final delivery.

So, if you were sending mail from hostA through hostB to hostC, and you
were to include the following line in your header:
Return-Receipt: myname@hostA

Then, the sendmail on hostC will immediately send back a receipt when the
mail *arrives* at hostC.
