Well, since I never use Read Receipts myself, and I sure as hell never
ever configure Evo to respond to them... ;)  That question never
occurred to me.

However, I just checked by enabling that option in the Composer, and
saving a draft. It seems that this corresponds to the header

  Disposition-Notification-To: you example net

There are two ways to get this information you asked for. The first
option is on demand: Select the sent mail in question in your Sent
folder, and pick  View / Message Source (Ctrl-U)  from the menus. Check
for that header in the raw message source.

The second option, if you wonder about this frequently: Add that very
header (without the trailing colon) to your  Mail Preferences / Headers.


Please be aware though, that it is up to the recipient to follow your
(im)polite request for verification when exactly he reads his mail. ;)
Just in case you wonder whether you set it, to verify if the recipient
read the mail. You can not tell anything by the absence of a read
receipt.
