The closest thing would be to add a Return-Receipt-To header to the
e-mail. On those e-mail clients that support it on the receiving end,
it will request a return receipt to the e-mail address specified in the
Return-Receipt-To. Example header line:
Return-Receipt-To: returnaddress@example.com
Please note that this header line will only request it from the client.
If the client software supports the use of the header, it's up to the
user configuration whether the request is allowed or ignored.
