I think what she is asking is that when people click on a URL in an email
message (such as the one in your signature, Stephen) is the referrer info
different than referrals from Web sites or search engines so that you
could tell how many people clicked on a link in your email? I haven't
seen anything like this so I would tend to say that email clients open a
new browser window sending no referral information at all. On the
other hand, Web-based mail often does log the referring link (in fact
Hotmail actually includes the person's username in the referrer string!).
So I guess the answer would be yes and no.
