Tell them to reply back in the email. If they don't then either:

A) They didn't get the email
B) They are no longer your friend and there is no need to worry anymore

[edit] You can also use an email client to send it (such as outlook) and use the request read reciept option.

I use pegasus mail (its free and don't suffer from Outlook attacks)

It has four options I find useful.

confirm reading
confirm delivery
copy to self
mail filtering

If both you and you friend were using Pegasus it will probably work well as long as the following setting is enabled:

Tools -> Options -> General settings -> advanced -> accept requests to confirm reading.

Confirm delivery is not guaranteed to work on other mail systems nowerdays though because many mail servers see confirming delivery/reading as an acknoledgment to spam mailers that the e-mail address is working.

The mail filtering rules are good too. i filter e-mail from e-mail address i know (friends/family) to a seperate folder so i don't have to wade through junk to find them and possibly miss some.

You can also setup Outlook to ask you if you want to send the read receipt back to the sender for each mail. So you couldn't even be 100% sure if they read it even if you were both using Outlook.

I am 99% probably lying in bed right now... so don't blame me for crappy typing
