You cannot, excepting via a read receipt which they can ignore, if their
mail server accepts the reciept in the first place

Hi GreenEyes,,

did you try the "read/receipt" option in Outlook?

"About tracking when messages are delivered or read"
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...421911033.aspx

Maybe it helps.

You can't. They get to control their own resources, not you. Unless
they choose or configure their e-mail client to send back a read
receipt, you won't know. You could try using a web beacon just like the
spammers but that fails since most e-mail clients are configured by
default to block externally linked content.

You can send a read receipt *request* (a header gets added to your
outbound e-mail). THEY get to decide if they will send it to you. Of
course, you could be polite and ASK them to respond.

Now configure your e-mail program so it always and automatically sends
the read receipt e-mail whenever requested. Also configure your e-mail
client to allow all externally linked content. If your e-mail client
makes use of the IE security zones, make sure to change to the Internet
security zone for minimal security while reading e-mails. Now others
can do to you want you want to do to others.
