[Javascript] Confirmation that an email has been received.

It would be an online form (requiring the user's email address) and being
sent to one person.  So...it cannot be done with javascript (I didn't think
it could, but I thought I would ask anyway) - it would have to be set up in
the user's email options, not the recipients, right?

The only way I can imagine this working is if you find out how the
"received receipt" is flagged. You won't be able to display it via 
web page, though, since the receipt is a return email message, which
you can't really check (AFAIK) with Javascript. Besides, what if the
person isn't online, or isn't checking email?

You'd have to set the received receipt flag somehow, and have the
return receipt go to the sender's email account. And even then, who
is the sender? Is it the user (will they have to put in their email
address somewhere?), is it the account sending the form data?
