The protocol used to transfer emails around the Internet called SMTP (simple mail transfer protocol) has an option to request that the reader send back a "read receipt".
However that feature must be implemented by the email program that reads the email. Many web-based emails readers do not send read receipts, many application based email readers, like Outlook, ask the user if they want to send the read receipt yes/no. If they click no, you'll never know.
If you are using a corporate email system like Microsoft exchange or lotus notes, or a student email system like 1st class, then you have more options but for the Internet, you are at the mercy of the reader and their email reading program.

You can set an option to request a read receipt but the person receiving the email may not have their mail client set to send them.
If you send the email in HTML format you can embed a tracking image from your website and check the server logs to see if it has been downloaded, if it has been then the mail has been opened. If the recipient does not load images in email this wont work.

You probably think opened and read by a recipient. Well in Outlook you can turn on an option to tracking e-mails and receive notivication when and if your email has been delivered and read by recepient.
There are also plug-ins to install that do the same thing. Look here:

i assume you mean by the person you sent it to? in that case if you are using outlook you can choose the option of requesting a receipt upon opening from the person you sent the email to.
