If you ask, the first one I mentioned is from Thunderbird, the second one is 
from Windows Mail (i.e. previously called Outlook Express) :)

Moreover, the "Return Receipt" term itself is mentioned by the KMail docs as a 
common term:
http://docs.kde.org/kde3/en/kdepim/kmail/configure-security.html#configure-security-reading-mdns

More info on the naming in Outlook (esp. in Exchange mode):
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B192929&x=15&y=15

Apparently Outlook itself has it hidden more deeply and names "Request a read 
receipt for this message".
