Mail return receipt I understand that I can get Return Receipts for all emails that I send, this is way too much needless return mail. However, there are many times In business, that it would be great to have that receipt. Could Apple please consider adding a button to add a Return Receipt on individual emails at the time they are sent?

It is not your business if or when I read my email. If you were able to get a read receipt from my email client I would block all email from you. Think how valuable a tool this would be for phishers.
