Most services like readnotify just send an email with a unique URL, the receiver has to click the URL in order to read you actual message, you will get a read notification when the URL gets loaded.
However, that still doesn't mean the receiver actually read your mail 
.
No method seems reliable enough to be worth it... Just ask people to reply if its really important to get a confirmation.

But the link will lead to the actual message, people HAVE to click the link to be able to read anything.
