Outlook blocks image downloads of non trusted senders. If it is something the user opted in for, they will probably add the address to safe senders list or just click "Download images" in each message. I'd be rather ticked off if my ISPs "spam filter" blocked html emails or images. There's really nothing to debate here so I don't know why it's turning into one... everyone has had (or eventually will have) a database with users who have gladly given their email addresses and opted to receive some sort of email... why would they object to you knowing they get it if they asked you to send 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.
