    Go into your personal configuration.  Scroll down to 

customized-hdrs:

Add the field

Return-Receipt-To: _your_email_address_

However, this is no guarantee that you will in fact get a delivery
receipt.  Some systems honor the request and many do not.  Receipts 
not part of Internet standards, and there is no way to force issuance
of one.  Also, a receipt only tells you that the mail was delivered. 
It does not tell what, if anything, the recipient did with that mail.
