Does Gmail have a return receipt option, for example can gmail users that emailed me know when when I opened their email?

While Gmail doesn't have that feature native to the program, there are other ways to enable that service through other services. One way is to use Mozilla Thunderbird as your client and run Gmail through that program. Instructions for doing that are on the web if you search it.

Now if the Google guys could also think of such.....
