3 possibilities:

1. You will get nothing back.
2. You will get a receipt saying it was deleted without being read
3. You will get a receipt back saying it was read.

It depends entirely upon what the recipient does, which you cannot control. Personally, I disable all receipts and use an old program (WYB!) to blast senders with alternate read/unread receipts, usually in the hundreds. They soon get the message.
