I don't know whats those 'many other', but mutt does support nearly all common email features I am aware off. It even supports Delivery Status Notifications that are (as far as I can see that) less wideley supported and therefore even more useless. So i don't *understand* the reasoning
But DSNs are the way to go. The server should send the notification that it has received the mail and delivered it to the mailbox of the recipient(s). Like a postman will only get a delivery notification, not a reading notification.
What you want is an invasion of privacy of every reader. It is not of your concern if and when a user reads your mail. Such a feature should never be part of mutt. Besides if you are sending a mail to more than one recipient or an alias, you will get a notification from every recipient.
What you want to do is bugging the MTA developpers to implement DSN (if not already available) not MUA developpers.
Shade and sweet water!
