INTRODUCTION
If you want to be sure that someone has received your message, you can request a delivery receipt . That way, when the recipient downloads your message from his or her ISP's e-mail server, you receive a message indicating that your e-mail was delivered. In addition, you can request a read receipt , which notifies you when your message is opened by the recipient.
CAUTION
No Receipt Received?
If you've requested a receipt but don't receive one, it doesn't necessarily mean your message wasn't delivered or read. Some e-mail programs do not send delivery or read receipts.
