Actually, the BB delivery receipts are uniquely formatted and it's easy to distinguish between those sent from a PC. In fact, sending out a mass mailing with the delivery receipt option enabled reveals who on the list actively uses a BB.

The other difference for a PC user is the recipient can easily disable the sending of receipts, which at this point is not an option for a BB user.
