The closer thing I could think of is place something in your mail header s to the effect of
X-Confirm-Reading-To: Return-Receipt-To: Many variables would have to fall in place such as the mail server for th e recipient would have to be configured to understand confirm & the recipie nt's email client would have to be able to understand & use return reciept. If all of this is done internally and you can have control over that, may be it could work for you, but for the general public, I wouldn't count on it.
