A lot of the emails in Palins allegedly hacked email account have the form:

These look like read receipts. So the question is can Yahoo! mail be configured to ask for, or to send read receipts?

Update:

OK, so I've answered my own question.

Yes, it can, if you use an email client with POP/SMTP access to the yahoo account and use the client to ask for a Delivery / Read receipt.

This aspect of the Palin email saga seems to be possibly genuine.

Reason behind this: by denying a read receipt, you make sure that spammers don't know whether they hit a real mail address.
