It would be nice to have a button on the e-mail browser that just had a big
happy face on it. If you hit the button it would auto-reply to whatever
e-mail was open at the time with a nice warm "got your message, thanks for
taking to time to answer my question".
Failing that you can flag the e-mail to advise you that it was read by the
destination. Still not a "thank you" though.

My general rule (and I am not rigid about it, I'm sure) is that if a
person
sends me private mail, I will acknowledge it to assure him I got it. If
it
is advice posted to the entire list, I generally don't reply unless I
have
specific comments, since he knows it made it to the list when he sees it
come back.
I understand your frustration in not knowing if something reached a
private
destination. I often wonder about things I have sent privately, and
think,
"would it KILL you to hit a reply key?"
