Read Receipts and Highlighting/Colored Font Functionality in Updates

Description - It would be nice to have the read receipt function when someone reads your update, currently within our organization, we have a number of users that "ghost" our project managers or claim they never saw the message. The read receicpt functionality would help to decrease the number of those issues I believe. For the second part of my idea, having the ability to highlight and/or change the color of the font would mimic other communication platforms such as Teams and Outlook that allow for the user to highlight important information or call our different color text to mean certain this. It would just add another layer of customization for communicating in updates.

Why is this feature important to you - I believe it will lessen issues regarding missed notifications as well as increase productivity if users know someone can see they have read their message.

How would you like the feature to work - Once the person opens to the update that was sent to them, it automatically sends notification if that notification is toggled on in the users profile to show the sender the message was read and also shows the time and date stamp the message was read underneath the message in updates.

Current Behaviour - There is no current behavior for this

In addition to the above, it would be great if all the file formats (pdf, Excel, etc) can be attached in the comments/updates.
