As with SMSs, you only really know if it was received and understood
when you get a reply.
To sum up: read receipts are a misfeature, except in the special
case
of internal mail where they are part of corporate policy.
I'm reminded of a scene in a tv comedy series about government
bureaucracy, where in one episode their email server was down, but they
were still emailing each other by passing their laptops around.
Something tells me the writers didn't just invent that scenario out of
thin air.
