I am not sure if this is entirely accurate. There are two return receipts that you can ask for: one for delivery and the other for reading. The second one, if I am not wrong, is what depends on the client. However, the first is dependent on the mail server. Outlook has both of these and I use it on my office machine. I normally don't bother with the "read return receipt" but I have used "delivery return receipt" many times on Internet mail and it gives you some assurance that the mail made it to the client's mailbox.
