Right, but the original request included the need for "has the email been
opened" which would suggest a push. That is what my response was to.
Obviously there are other things you can do with passing a unique id to a
page and checking which email address that unique id is associated with.

There are interesting things in the marketing world - although I personally
know very little about it (not being a marketing major or anything). First
off, there is such a thing called "Push marketing" and another thing called
"Pull Marketing". The kind of marketing where you see a message that say
something like "Click here for more information on a product that could help
you do such and such." - that would be "pull" marketing. If you see a
message that has all or most of the sales pitch right in front of you (eg:
your HTML email example), that would be known as push marketing.
Clearly, push marketing is typically more effective because it requires less
action on the part of the customer - so that's what spammers have typically
gone for. There are email systems out there that use pull marketing methods
- and work well (under their given conditions) for outlook users in the
situation you describe. They're out there. You just have to look. =)
