I just took a look at their web site, and while they don't say how it works,
they do admit that a text based mail reader will not work.

>From this, I would guess they are using web-bugs to track receipt
(<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_bug>), in which case Entourage 2004 is
safe - it will not automatically download web attachments unless the sender
is in your address book AND you have set the preference to allow this.

Now, if someone wants to set up a free account at didtheyreadit and send me
a mail off-list to check on this, I'll report the results.
