The service is www.pointofmail.com. (There are others like it, including www.readnotify.com and www.e-mailsecure.com.) It seems a bit ominous to me, with a high potential for abuse. By sending an email via their service, you can know when the recipient reads it, for how long they have the message open, etc. They do this by storing your message on their server and sending the recipient an HTML message that points to the stored message. Since the actual message isn't on the recipient's system, you can also delete the message whenever you want.
There's nothing to prevent someone from pointing the HTML to a worm or virus, I suppose. So, do any of you block these sorts of services? I would feel a bit better if the companies offering the services were a little more open with who and where they are, but only one publishes any sort of business address.
