    Even if there was there are usually ways round this.

    I don't think hotmail does "read receipts"

    You could ask for a read receipt but it`s still up to the recipient to send one back.

    Even if it did all it would prove is the e-mail was opened, not necessary read though.

    I think Yahoo Mail (paid for) offers a read receipt option/ have always preferred Yahoo mail to hotmail/gmail :cool:

    I have a paid for Yahoo mail account, can't see anything. And under help:

    If I send a message to someone, can I tell if they've received and read it?

    No, Yahoo! Mail doesn't currently offer a "return receipt" feature.
