I am not aware of a "foolproof" method, but the simplest means in Internet Explorer is to open the new message, go under view to options and select "tell me when this message has been read" or "tell me when this message has been delivered" under thevoting and tracking options.

You can also turn this on for all mail (which I think would be a headache) under Tools > Options > Email Options > Tracking Options.

Good luck...hope this helps.

The answer is no. If you get an email you can see the flow of people it has been through to get to you but this does not include anyone that any of these people have sent it to.

If you are asking because of the many scams going on promising products, money or gift certificates by companies for forwarding emails you can check out this link about the current ones out there (also a good info site):
