How can I send a message where I get a confirmation back that the
recipiant opened the message? I have received messages before where I
had to click that I had received the message. Hope this makes since.

130) How can I request a return receipt from sent mails?
€ Go to Tools -> Accounts.
€ Under the Mail tab, edit the mail account you want to send from.
€ Click the Options tab. (Note to Exchange Server users: Click the
Mail tab, not Options tab)
€ Under "Additional Headers", add in a new header:
Disposition-Notification-To
€ Under Value, type your e-mail address.
Is there an option to select specific emails you want a return receipt for,
rather than
one global setting?
"Yes, Your best bet is to create a normal (POP) account setup (named
descriptively) which is exactly the same as your regular one except omitting
the "Receive Mail" entries and adding the "Return Receipt" header as
described above. Remember to remove the Return Receipt header from your
default account. You can then choose to send from this account when you want
to request a return receipt rather than adding and deleting the header
repeatedly
Note that this will only request a return receipt. While some clients can
and will carry out the request, others will prompt the user and they can
choose not to send it back, and still other clients like Entourage ignore
the request completely, so it should not be assumed that no receipt means a
recipient didn¹t receive the message.
