The fact that you replied and quoted my email tells me you've read the
email.
True, but only applicable to email you send. Unless you've configured your
system to produce delivery and read receipts, it's nearly impossible to
prove you read an email. And if you don't have a copy of it, it'll often be
impossible to prove it was even ever delivered to your mail server. (Think
retention policies for mail server log files, to protect yourself on both
ends of this stick.)
It's often a safe bet to assume the other techie had adopted a policy of
laziness.

the email even if you've (virtually) shredded your copy.
Like many techie solutions, it requires that everyone adopt the same
policy
