Supporting read receipts would be a feature worth implementing, agreed.
(Although I am speaking for others here only, as I will never ever use
it.)

Anyway, folks need to understand that requesting a read receipt and not
getting anything in return *is* *not* an *evidence* of not reading the
mail. Which folks don't understand.

It actually is.

I may be more paranoid / concerned about privacy than you are, but
leaking the information when (if at all) I do read my mail isn't
acceptable at all. I refuse to use any MUA that doesn't empower me to
keep my personal information private.

Do whatever pleases you. You don't expect to get features implemented by
comments like the above, do you?
