Is it possible with mime:lite to get a confirmation that someone has read their mail?
There are some standard headers you can set to ask for a return reciept. You can set them with MIME::Lite just as well as anything else. There are also some dirty tricks you can play with html mail. However, all of these things are far too ripe for abuse by spammers, so I'm not going to give you any details. Those of us who have some sense have configured our MUAs not to send any kind of return reciept.

Update: Hint: reverse engineering. Experiment with common mail programs used at your company. Send yourself e-mail requesting a reciept. Examine it carefully. Beware the dark side.
