I'd like to discuss return reciepts in general....

While I do see the privacy problems with Return Reciepts, I also know 
that I am always uncertain, if a mail arrived, if I don't get a 
response. I never know, if I were intentionally ignored, if the 
recipient didn't have time to read it, or if he never recieved it. The 3 
cases require different behaviour on my side, and I can only guess, 
what's the case. I would really like to have some confirmation that the 
transfer worked OK.

Any opinions? Is that a case, where email could be improved technically, 
or are that more social problems that I have to live with?
