You can't.
How do you know the message wasn't "read" by the user collecting email via POP3, or the auto preview pane, or an automated application.
The read/unread status is individual to the user, trying to run any kind of report on that basis is a pointless exercise.

Sending read receipts is pointless as well - plus I personally consider them rude.
