I could be wrong but I don’t think you’ll be able to accomplish what  
you’re looking for. Once the e-mail is sent it is out of your control.  
Maybe there is a way to reproduce Microsoft Outlook’s functionality  
and request a response when the user is about to open the e-mail but  
as far as I know the user can choose not to send the response anyway.

One trick is to include links to images with a tracking code embedded  
in them. As well as serving up the image you record the fact that that  
email was read. A lot of email clients don’t load external images by  
default, in part because of this.
