They work, but the client has to support it.  I don't think most webmail 
packages do, but at least Netscape Messenger does.  When I send a message to an 
account I check with Netscape Messenger, and request a return receipt, it works. 
 Messenger will pop up with a "Return receipt requested; send one?", and send a 
simple reply back if I say yes.  I would presume Outlook/Outlook Express does 
the same thing.
