I agree with your statement only regarding the "read" receipt where the
recipient is present with a box to allow the response. However, my
experience with an earlier version of Outlook is that the "delivery"
receipt does not require participation by the recipient and such
"delivery" receipt is returned to the sender when the recipient opens
the email. This is what I am trying to do.

First, deltivery receipts are returned by the server when it places the
message in the mailbox. They have no function beyond that. They cannot be
issued when the mail is opened. That's a read receipt. Delivery receipts are
handled strictly by the server and read receipts are handled strictly by the
client.

Second, many (most?) servers do not honor delivery recipt requests. In the
majority of cases, the user doesn't (and perhaps can't) control the honoring
of delivery receipt requests.

In short, there is no way to require a read receipt.
