Not quite sure what it is that the ISP, etc., can object to. HTML emails have to draw content from a server when they're displayed, and tracking could be attached to any element on the page, so how would Outlook or the ISP's know that I'm counting the number of times an element on the page is downloaded? Or is there another aspect to this that I'm missing? Rick -----Original Message----- From: Phillip M. Vector [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, May 28, 2007 4:11 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Tracking email campaigns - any better ideas? Just for the record, I didn't say that people don't do it. Just that clients except Outlook (which several people use) and spam filters (which almost every ISP uses) filters those emails out and if he puts it in, several emails may not get to who it is supposto and the client may get upset that people (who he said are paying money for the service) aren't gettings said emails. As for it being right or wrong, I'd rather not get into a debate about what is evil and what isn't. :) Casey Dougall wrote: > There is nothing wrong with tracking images e-mail campaigns.
