There is no way you can guarentee this. Best chance of reception is
grabbing the server log from the recipients server QSL'n the message.
Sorry - SMTP transfers are logged; well they should be according to the
rfc's. Your email server logs when the message was accepted by the
recipient server; said with tongue in cheek as this message could be
accepted by a MX relay who relays to another MX ... You can NOT
guarentee what happens after that.

A link in the html you send to the recipient would be the best thing,
but probably not 100% accurate. Heck, probably not 75% accurate.

Typical of marketing firms, throw money up in the air in a heavy wind
and they then have to know where it comes down!

Think about it. Would you want folks to know that YOU read some email?
