how does read receipt on email work?

[dpopiz]

Is there some sort of protocol for read receipts? How do I know if one has been sent?

Are you using Outlook dpopiz?

I believe it just sends another email out?

it works by sending back an e-mail saying you opened it. 😛

I'm using Opera 8. How do I know if a read receipt has been sent?

I think it only works if the receiver is using outlook or one that supports read receipt.
