I think that email clients should tell the (human) sender when the email has been opened by the (human) recipient.
I would hope not. This would provide live address verification for spam. Also like real mail, you sending me a message should allow me the freedom to read that mail, or not, without your knowledge. Finally, opening a mail does not mean the mail was read. Microsoft email has the return receipt feature, and HTML mail uses hidden image "bugs", to implement this type of thing; both are odious invasions of the recipient's privacy.
