Thanks to everyone for their responses.  It seems I was way behind the
curve on this.

I finally remembered to do the right thing, and checked the claws-mail
online man pages.  It does support both sending and receiving return
receipts.

Here is the snippet from their FAQ about this:

"""
Does Claws Mail support Return Receipts?

Yes.

To request a Return Receipt use '/Options/Request Return Receipt' in
the Compose window.

When you receive a message that requests a Return Receipt a
notification area is shown just above the message view. You can either
use the 'Send receipt' button, or ignore the request - no receipts are
sent automatically.

You can choose to never send Return Receipts by using the option on the
Mail Handling/Sending page of the Preferences. When you use this
option, all Return Receipt requests are ignored and you will not be
prompted to send one. 
"""

And I have that turned off, so at some point in the past I must have
been concerned about it, turned it off, and forgot completely ever
being concerned.  Sigh.
