Quite a few people use email clients where settings such as this may not be
simple to adjust on a message-by-message basis - the client either requests
receipts, or it doesn't, for all emails sent.

Anyway, if you don't like sending out such receipts, you can always tell your
mail application not to respond to the requests.
