No, it's not in the standard and it will never be.
All you can do: ask for a read confirmation. The receiver can choose if he gives it or not.
Email systems do not provide an indicator (the way WhatsApp does) to a sender when an addressee has opened an email that the latter has indeed done so.
Are there any formidable complications that prevent email systems from providing the above indicator? Is any work in progress to remove the above limitation?
Thanks for the information!
