how to put a read receipt to my email im sending

Hi, I am trying to send a email and I want to make sure they receive it and read it. Is there a way to get a return email when they open the email I send them?


Thanks Felicity

Mail does not support read receipts; even if it did, it would still be up to the recipient to send it.

You can always add a message to the end of the email. Something like:

While it is completely none of my business what you do with my email, my life would not be complete until you informed me that you read my email.

Also note that the read receipt is not responded to when actually read (however the email client interprets that). If you do any pre-processing on a message, like automatically sending all email with a read receipt to the trash, it will generate the response. So, it doesn't tell you anything like what you expect even if you do get a response.
