What do I get when I send mail with Option>Delivery Status Notification? Where do I see it? I don't see any notification anywhere.

With Option>Return Receipt I do get email response back (if the receiver chooses to acknowledge)

What is the difference between Delivery Status Notification and Return Receipt?
