There's no 100% reliable way to do this unless you have complete control over the software used to read e-mails by the people you send messages to.

CodeProject is your friend: "How to know whether an email is delivered and read:"

Microsoft Outlook employs this mechanism but not all the email applications supports this, not only that a recipient can disable sending receipts altogether.
