I don't follow this "because someone might already have sent it out"
bit.
Surely if a mail is sent to (say) ten recipients it's pretty useless
to know that it got to just one of them. If all ten recipients had
MUAs that understood the receipt request thing wouldn't they all
acknowledge? If not then it's an even more un-useful facility than
would at first appear.
