Thanks for the answers. I begin to suspect that PowerMail has not this feature that other clients have (Eudora, Musashi, Entourage...). I don't know if CTMDEV folks follow this list, but I can say that the lack of this feature will prevent my enterprise from making PowerMail our default e-mail client (though it will not prevent me from using it with satisfaction). In a business environment it is mandatory (or simply useful) to have the certainty of the reception of your messages sometimes. Certified mail services will do it in time, but meanwhile "return receipts" are the best widely available solution.

I don't agree. It depends on the environment. As per the snail mail it is very unpolite to request a return receipt for a postcard, but it is proper to do it for a business communication or a message to a public bureau, for example.
